What does the glory of Christ actually do once it appears? In this Second Sunday of Christmas sermon, “Guided by Glory,” we reflect on Matthew 2:1–12 and the story of the Magi—outsiders drawn from far away by a light they didn’t fully understand. Their journey reminds us that God’s grace is not confined to insiders, and that encountering Christ always changes our direction. As Christmas turns toward Epiphany, this message explores how Christ’s glory: • Draws seekers before they have certainty • Disturbs false power and religious complacency • Leads to true worship and joyful surrender • Sends us back into the world changed Whether you are deeply familiar with the Christian story or still searching, this sermon invites you to consider how Christ’s light is guiding you today—and what it might mean to go home “by another way.” 📖 Scripture: Matthew 2:1–12 🗓 Second Sunday of Christmas 📍 Hope Church Anglican | Charleston, WVFor more information, please visit us at hopecharleston.org#epiphany sermon #Matthew 2 #Wise Men #Sermon #Magi #Christmas Season #Anglican Sermon #Hope Church Charleston #Jesus Christ #Christian Preaching #Second Sunday of Christmas
