We talk a lot about leadership, but there are times when even leaders need to be followers, and ...read more

    This passage deals with the myth that the Magi followed the Star of Bethlehem all the way to Jerusalem. In truth, the star disappeared and then reappeared after they were in Jerusalem. The message applies this phenomenon to the way that God often guides

    For years I thought the only reason the Wisemen came to Jerusalem was to get directions. But I was wrong. What other possible reason could the Wisemen have had for going there?

    My home church met in a huge building. The main sanctuary had four sections of pews that ran back 12 rows or so and the back section had another 2 sets of pews. Then there were two balconies that ran along the sides of the main area. They said they could seat over 600 people in that building. ...read more

    While life may often seem to lack coherence, Matthew 2:1-15 shows us that God gives it His own unique cadence and rhythm. Ultimately, we don't have to have all of the answers if we know the One who does, and we humbly follow His lead.

    When Life Seems To Have No Rhyme Matthew 2:1-15 1. The Magi left for the land of Israel "on the brink…" - “A crucial or critical threshold, beyond which success or catastrophe occurs” - The Magi were on the brink of making a great personal discovery. - The chief ...read more
