    Martyrs for jesus come in many shapes and forms

    The scripture we read this morning is quite a grim text isn’t it, but in the eastern orthodox church they use this same scripture to celebrate the end of the Christmas story. In that church, they have set aside the 29th of December as a holy day. A holy day where they commemorate the lives of the ...read more

     | 18,303 views

    God just might give you a star to capture your attention and to guide you. And if you follow that star, everything just might change. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people.

    I love the story of the magi. There was a time when the magi lived far away from Jesus. They were given a special star to capture their attention and to guide them. They followed the star, and it changed everything. An intimate encounter with Jesus has a way of doing that to people. I love the ...read more

    State Of The Heart Worship

     | 2,192 views

    Why some people worship Jesus (the Wisemen) and some don’t (Herod).

    The difference between those who worship Jesus and those who do not is the state of their heart. Herod did not want Jesus worshiped. He desired no rival to his position and power. The wisemen on the other hand were anxious to worship the newborn king. When you examine the hearts of the wisemen ...read more

     | 3,416 views

    The irony that those who should have recognized the signs of Christ’s arrival were completely oblivious while "foreigners" recognized them.

    Mt. 2:1-12 ”Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign” I want to begin by asking a question. How many wise men were there? Anybody venture a guess? We typically say three, don’t we? The truth is we don’t know exactly how many there were. But we tend to say three because there were three gifts that ...read more

    There are many things we don’t know about the Magi but we do know that they were Gentiles, they came to worship the Christ, and they brought expensive gifts. Where would they look if they came today?

    We Three (Billion?) Kings Matthew 2:1-12 December 19, 2004 Someone speculated what the first Christmas might have been like if Wise Women had come from the east instead of Wise Men.
