When Kings Rage: Christmas In A Violent World

Dec 14, 2025    Tony Stephens

Christmas isn’t just a peaceful story — it’s a confrontation between the kingdoms of this world and the Kingdom of Christ.


In this message, When Kings Rage, Pastor Tony walks through Matthew 2 and shows what happens when earthly power feels threatened by the arrival of the true King. From Herod’s fear and manipulation to God’s quiet sovereignty and protection, this passage reminds us that no amount of rage can stop what God has set in motion.


In this sermon, you’ll discover:

Why Jesus threatens false thrones

How fear reveals what we trust most

Why God’s kingdom cannot be controlled or manipulated

How God’s plan advances even in the face of evil

Where to place your trust when the world feels unstable


If you’re facing fear, opposition, or uncertainty, this message will remind you that when the world rages, God still reigns.


📖 SCRIPTURE: Matthew 2:1–18
