Everyone has swagger, even the wise men of scripture. No nativity scene is complete without the wise men but these men are usually overlooked and their story discounted as insignificant. We don’t often realize just how much we could learn from these men.

Some scholars say they traveled more than 1,000 miles across a desert to worship Jesus and to bring him gifts. This would have likely taken a year or more. They past up the gods of their own country and the wealth of a king, leaving behind family and comfort because they believed the stars spoke of a baby that would be greater than all of that.

Pastor Cox preaches on the swagger of these men and how we as Christians should do as they did. A fresh perspective on these obscure characters and on the life of a Christian.

There is something different about the way that some people serve Christ. It is really easy to say, "I know what Jesus did for me," and to recite some stuff we've learned in church, but it's a whole other thing to have literally witnessed Jesus Christ being beaten beyond recognition because of something that you did. In this sermon Pastor Justin Cox explains the difference between these two groups of people--1. those that recite what they've been told and 2. those that have truly seen what their sins did to Jesus, who endured their punishment willingly. The major difference is found in how this truth impacts the lives of those who have truly seen Christ crucified for them. It's something they can't forget. A sermon that will challenge you to discern whether you've truly seen Christ's sacrifice, or only heard about it.

Jesus is on trial in our lives everyday. And the sad thing is that we often choose Barabbas even when we're professing Jesus to be Lord. There are many ways we can choose Barabbas even in the church. In fact, in this sermon we learn that the very thing that was in the people crying out "Give us Barabbas!" is also in us: the desire to get rid of Jesus so we can do what we want. This is a very challenging and very encouraging message. Listen in as Minister Eddie Prophet expresses the urgency of the short time we have to abandon this world and choose Jesus before it's too late.
