Here at coastline church we believe in helping people take next steps on their spiritual journey by revealing the life giving message of Jesus. Every single person has a next step in their discipleship journey and we want to make sure you activate your faith and 2023 is the year you go deeper with Jesus. Here Ps. Andy and Ps. Lisa will encourage you and remind you that you don’t need to add to your faith to be saved, but you certainly have to engage your faith if you want to grow closer to Jesus.

It’s Christmas Sunday and Ps. Andy wraps up our series, breaking down the final gift given to Jesus at his birth and all that it represents. In this message we discover that the gift of Gold represents the kingship of Jesus and how Jesus was and is a unique King who rules with justice and mercy unlike any King to come before Him. You know what the best part is? He only rules by your choice, not by His force and even though his home is heaven, he wants his throne to be your heart.

We can always be encouraged that we don’t have a distant God who is far or angry with us. The truth is, we have a close and intimate Father who came and served as our perfect priest. In this message, Ps. Andy walks us through how the gift of frankincense represents the priestly role of Christ and how in Jesus coming to us He became our bridge to God and makes it possible for men to enter into the presence of God.

When Jesus came he was offered three gifts from the wisemen from the East. Often we look at this as a simple exchange, a moment of blessing but the gifts given to Jesus carry far more meaning then we may realize. Gold, frankincense and myrrh speak to the authority and life of Jesus in His kingship, priesthood and prophetic life. This week Ps. Lukas breaks down the meaning of myrrh and how it speaks to our suffering and more importantly, His suffering and love for you and me. YES… God really is that big that the cross was already showing up in the manger.
