January 6, 2019

Please turn in your Bibles to Matthew 2:1-2

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from

the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born King of

the Jews? We saw His star when it rose and have come to worship Him.”

Matthew 2:1–2 (Ref. Numbers 24:17a)

“…they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.” Matthew 2:10

App: What is the affection of your heart? (ref. Proverbs 8:17-21)

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

1: Discover Life (V 1)

App: Is the path you’re on leading to real life?

2: Develop Hope (V 1, 4)

App: Do you have confident assurance that the best is in front of you?

3: Disarm Flesh (V 1, 5-6)

When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, ‘It’s going to rain,’ and it does. 55 And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It’s going to be hot,’ and it is. 56 Hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and the sky. How is it that you don’t know how to interpret this present time? Luke 12:54-56

What is God’s Spirit speaking into your life today?

How must you respond?
