What does it really mean to worship wisely?
In Matthew 2, the Wise Men show us that worship is not accidental—it’s intentional, costly, and rooted in wisdom. They didn’t allow distance, discomfort, or danger to keep them from encountering Jesus. Instead, they followed the leading of the Holy Spirit, searched the Scriptures, and responded with humble obedience.
In this message, we learn that:
• Wise worship seeks Jesus intentionally
• Wise worship responds to divine direction
• Wise worship brings God our very best
The gifts they brought (gold, frankincense, and myrrh) weren’t random. They revealed who Jesus is: King, Holy, and Savior. True worship still requires that same understanding today.
Our worship, our resources, and our lives belong to Him.
Scripture References:
• Matthew 2:1–11
• Numbers 24:17
• Micah 5:2
• Philippians 3:12
Be encouraged to approach God with wisdom, humility, and wholehearted worship—because when we bow before Him, we align our lives with His purpose.
