Putting Herod Back Into Christmas

The text for this sermon comes from Matthew 2:13-23.  It concerns the themes seen in the Old Testament (type) and the way they are reinterpreted in the New Testament (anti-type).  For example, manna which sustained Israel in the wilderness (type) and Jesus the bread of life in the New Testament (anti-type).  The sermon invited listeners to 1) have a clear vision of what God is doing today, 2) not settle for a counterfeit narrative such as what our government gives us, and 3) listening to God rather than to false voices.
