Advent | Week 3 | The King Who Brings Everlasting Joy
Dec 14, 2025 • Michael Johnson
Week 3 of Advent - The Promise, Announcement, and Fulfillment
This week we explore how God's wisdom far surpasses our own, as demonstrated through the birth of the Messiah in the small town of Bethlehem. Pastor Michael traces the promise from Micah 5, through the angelic announcement to the shepherds, culminating in the thief on the cross who recognized Jesus' kingship.
The central truth from this sermon is this: lasting joy is only found in submitting to Christ's rule in every area of our lives. When we try to be king of our own kingdoms, we rob ourselves of the very joy we're desperately seeking.
