    We often focus on issues that are insignificant rather than seeing the glory of the Lord shining through what has been written.

    “After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.’ When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled, ...read more

    The star that some should be following is not always the Star that leads wise men to the King of kings. Take a good long look at what you are following.

    Starstruck, Stargazing, or Stardom? What star are you chasing? The Star in the East speaks of: 1.)God's Glory, 2.)His Guidance, and 3.)God's Gift Matthew 2:1,2,7-10 2 Peter 1:19 19 ¶ We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that ...read more

    At times it’s the kind of person that we say, “Oh, my goodness we’ve got to get a gift because they gave me a gift. And I hope this is about the same cost.” Kind of a tit for a tat. And so when we think of God, we think of grace and we say, “There’s no wa

    It’s good to give gifts. The story of the wise men giving their gifts to Jesus teaches us three things about giving today: Give an unexpected gift, give a gift with genuine joy, and give a gift that will last.

    In our journey through life we can learn much from the wise men's journey to see the Christ newly born King of the Jews.

    Mat 2:1-12 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, 2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. 3 When Herod the king had ...read more

    A short talk for our all-age Nativity service, a week before Christmas. This year I focused on the phrase WISE MEN SOUGHT JESUS - THEY STILL DO. I remember seeing that on a car sticker 30 years ago.

    Wise men sought Jesus and they still do. Although the Bible never calls them Wise men, the Magi (2:1) were non-Jewish, religious men from the east who studied the stars. The Bible doesn’t tell us how many Magi came to worship Jesus, but they were Magi plural, not single; and they were indeed wise. ...read more
