The Eyewitness Account of the Wise Men
Christmas is all about seeking to worship Christ. Unfortunately, when Christmas comes around, it is so easy for most of us to be preoccupied with seeking the best decorations, best bargains, and the best parties we can attend. Unconsciously, we go through all the motions, neglecting a major opportunity to bring ourselves a little bit closer to our Savior, or to intentionally help someone else to be drawn closer to Him. My fear is: if Christmas does not accomplish drawing us or someone else to Christ, the rest of the year would even be harder because there’s no special emphasis about Christ. Evidently, seeking for Christ is always is rewarding experience. I am reminded of a familiar verse that says, “He rewards those who earnestly seek Him†(Heb.11:6). In other words, the Lord would like to impress to us that if we seriously exert the efforts to build a closer relationship with Him, we will never be disappointed. He will reveal Himself in a very special way to everyone who would seek after Him.

Would I have Found Him?
Would I have Found Him? We still look for Him, and wonder at His ways as we try and come to terms with His ability to hide His profoundness in plain sight. How could anyone know that they were to follow a star to find a King? The quest of the wise men and their subsequent success offers reassurance to us that even the most unexplainable and difficult ways of God can be discovered and followed. 1. Recognizing His directives. 2. Setting priorities to realize the goal. 3. Dealing with doubt. 4. Retaining strength for the quest.

God Connoisseurs
At The Oaks, we believe that all of life is worship. King Herod was a man who worshiped himself and his own rule above all else. Matthew contrasts Herod with a mysterious group of men called "The Magi". These men rolled into town and had a life-transforming encounter with the one true God, and were transformed. Pastor Kevin connects what we can learn about worship from both parties, and what true transformation looks like.
