    Today, we look at the wise men. There is one thing which sets this God encounter apart from the others in the Nativity story. Mary, the shepherds and Joseph weren’t expecting or looking for anything special to happen in their lives. The Magi weren’t eithe

     | 2,292 views

    Who really cares about us? Not this world’s Herods, for fear lashes out destructively. We find care in those who, like the wise men, believe in us and give gifts for the future; and who, like Joseph, sacrifice for us. Epiphany at National Baptist Memor

    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

    This sermon takes a look at the Magi.

    I read this humors account of the Wise Men (obviously written by a woman): If it had been ‘Wise Women’ instead of ‘Wise Men’, they would have asked directions, arrived on time, helped deliver the baby, cleaned the stable, made a casserole, and brought practical gifts from Baby’s-R-Us, including ...read more

    God’s timing is not always our timing, but it is always right. Here’s how to wait on Him.

    Matthew 2:1-23 Luke 2:21-40 2 Peter 3:8-9 1 Samuel 13:5-14 Waiting on God’s Timing I think that almost every Christmas pageant, Christmas card and manger scene that you see has the wise men showing up at the stable. Even the movie, “the Nativity Story” has them at the stable. It’s not wrong to ...read more
