Have you ever wondered what makes wise people truly wise? In Matthew 2, we discover it's not just about seeking truth—it's about surrendering to it. Pastor Bogdan unveils how the Magi's journey to Jesus reveals a profound truth for our spiritual lives today. Through their extravagant gifts and humble worship, these ancient kingmakers show us that authentic wisdom culminates in surrender, not just curiosity. Whether you're exploring faith or deepening your commitment, this message illuminates how true transformation happens when we stop managing God and start meeting Him. Listen now to discover how surrendering to Jesus leads to the exceeding joy that the Magi found—and how you can find it too.
Let's get ready to find hope in Jesus, by listening to this message.
