December 27, 2020Simeon With Baby Jesus In The Temple
December 26, 2020
The Christmas story did not end with the birth of Jesus. That was just the beginning. The Bible records little about baby Jesus. We know He was taken to the temple to be dedicated to the Lord when Mary’s time of purification was over as the law of Moses commanded. A sacrifice of a pair of turtle doves or two young pigeons.
While at the temple Mary and Joseph met two people. Today we will talk about Simeon. He was righteous and devout and was eagerly waiting for the Messiah to come and rescue Israel. The Holy Spirit was upon him and had revealed to him that he would not die until he had seen the Lord’s Messiah. That day the Spirit led him to the Temple. So when Mary and Joseph came to present the baby Jesus to the Lord as the law required, Simeon was there. He took the child in his arms and praised God, saying,
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. Luke 2:29-32
The Wise Men
December 23, 2020
The account of the wise men who came to worship Jesus is found in Matthew 2:1-12. Tradition says they were three kings who came from the east but the country they came from is not mentioned. They were thought to be 3 because of the number of gifts and kings because of the value of the gold, frankincense and myrrh.
They followed a star which appeared in the heavens until they came to Jerusalem and inquired of Herod where the King was born. Herod wanted to know more about this baby and asked the wise men to bring news of His whereabouts when they found Him. They continued to follow the star, presented their gifts and worshiped Jesus.
Jesus was not in the manger at the time the wise men found him, as is often pictured in Christmas cards and manger scenes, but was now a young child as the Bible states. Probably about 2 years old or a little younger and was in a house with Mary his mother. Then being warned in a dream the wise men went a different way back to their country and did not report to Herod.
There is a saying,”Wise men still seek Him”. Are you seeking Jesus? What He wants is our desire to follow Him as the wise men followed the star and to worship Him and give the gift of ourselves to Him. Are you wise?
Matthew 2:1-2 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, 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

The Lord is worthy of our worship. If you are able to physically go to church, great! If you are unable, take time to worship Him.
Pray for every Pastor and church leader that you know today.
Worship and Pray

Four great verses for today. When we live in uncertainty, and not knowing what direction our lives will go, these verses are direction from God’s Word.
If we are able to gather in church today or we worship from home, seek, pray, wait and worship. God is able to give us all we need.
God is Worthy of Our Praise!

The Solid Foundation
July 26, 2020
Jesus is the only foundation on which our church, home, ministry and government should be laid.
As we think about our worship today, if we are physically going to church or joining virtually, we need to make sure that the foundation of where we worship is Jesus.
It is our responsibility as Christians to make sure Jesus is the sure foundation in every area of our lives.
Thankful for Open Churches

Worship

Today, some churches are open and it is a time to go if you can. However, many are still closed or limiting who can attend. If you are not able to go to church today do not be discouraged.
God wants us to Praise His name and worship Him wherever we are. Let us focus on how great God is. He has done great things for us.
