There isn’t a church group or a Christian alive who hasn’t got at least some part of the picture wrong.

Like us, creation waits for the final culmination of all things when our Lord returns.

We are not all that different. The temptation of sin draws us into places we know we should not be, and suddenly we find ourselves unable (or unwilling) to turn back and plummet down until we hit bottom. 

“Church people and God’s people are not the same thing. Church people go to church. God’s people are the church.”

The all powerful God of creation could have accomplished His goals in any way He wished. Yet He chose to give us the blessing of participating with Him. He’s given you and me, ordinary people, the task of sharing His love with the world.

Kevin’s paraphrase “to know and experience the grace of God and to fully delight in it.” This joy exceeds superficial happiness; it comes from deep within

In the last of our three-part series about the wise men who visited  Christ, we look at the fallout from their visit.

Each of these gifts tells us something about the Christ. 

This morning, I was in Matthew 2, “The Visit of the Wise Men.” It’s a passage that fulfills prophecy and is prophetic in itself, but is often misunderstood.

Someone once said that God must like ordinary things because  He made so many of them. There is some truth in that statement.
