In this fourth message of our Advent series, "Fear Not," pastor Jin explores the birth narrative of Jesus from the perspectives of the magi and King Herod.

The magi and King Herod responded to news of Jesus’ birth in opposite ways. Fearing the loss of power and position, King Herod grasped for control of this developing new threat through the ruthless and violent taking of lives. But for the magi, finding Jesus was the culmination of a year-long search. They responded by giving costly gifts and bowing before this new king in utter worship. How do you respond to fearful threats in your life? Do you grasp for control or do look to Jesus? The ultimate cure to your chronic fear is worshiping Jesus.
