glad to study God's Word with you every day on this Bible teaching program. On today's edition,

A Pathway to Victory, we think the way

to be successful is to rule over other people, to put our desires before other people. That was

the spirit of Herod. But contrast Herod's formula for success with that of another king who is

found in this passage, the real king of

the Jews, King Jesus. Welcome to Pathway to Victory with author and pastor, Dr. Robert

Jeffers. Well, Christmas is just a few weeks away, and as we celebrate the birth of our Lord

Jesus Christ, it's important to remember that not everyone

received this good news with joy. Today on Pathway to Victory, Dr. Robert Jeffers shares the

other side of the Christmas story about a misguided king who bought into this world's philosophy

for success. But first, let's take a minute to hear some important ministry updates.

Thanks, David, and welcome again to Pathway to Victory. I'm excited to report that the brand new

Pathway to Victory Daily Devotional for 2026 is here in house. And I have to say, it's one of the

most attractive additions we've ever produced.

The tan leather-bound cover has gold accents.

And best of all, there's a devotional for every single weekday in the new year.
