This sermon explores Matthew 2:13-23 and focuses on the idea that we should "never fail to trust a God who can never fail." Through the story of Herod's attempt to thwart Jesus' life, we see how God's sovereign control is always at work, even amid opposition. We discuss how we can trust God to lead and guide us, just as he guided Joseph and protected Jesus.
