Partiality
The wise men’s hearts were overshadowed by worship. Are they magi? (Daniel 1:20, 2:5, 2:24) Are they wise men? (1 Kings 10:7,9-10) Are they kings? (Isaiah 39:6, 60:10) Herod’s heart was overshadowed by worry and fear. King of the Jews? Builder and baby killer? (Matthew 2:16) The Priests and Scribes’ hearts were overshadowed by confusion. (Matthew 2:5-6) If they knew about Jesus why didn’t they worship Him? Why information without action? Do you seek Him as a magi, wise man,…
In The Right Shadow
Luke 1:26-38, 45 Sermon Big Idea: The power of the Most High overshadows our fears Mary was greatly troubled, afraid, confused, but obedient.

A Divine Mystery
Luke 7:36-50 Mark 4:41 Luke 5:20-21 Luke 7:36-50 Simon questioned much He couldn’t be a prophet If He was holy He wouldn’t let her touch him The woman loved much Humbled herself Gave up her livelihood Covered up his embarrassment Matthew 2:18 – Polys (pa loos) Jesus forgives much Neither him who owed a little or a lot could repay She was one who we all would agree is a sinner Luke 7:49 Who is this man?

Seeking Jesus?
Big Idea: When looking for Jesus you may not find what you are looking for, but if you do find Him you will find exactly what you need. Wise men were seeking a miracle – Matthew 2:1-2 Andrew and Peter were seeking a Messiah – John 1:35-39; Acts 1:6 Followers of Jesus were seeking manna – John 6:26 What are you seeking? The wise men knew it was Him by a sign – Matthew 2:9 Peter and Andrew knew it…
A Gift From the Host
Luke 19:1-10 Sermon Big Idea: Truly inviting Jesus to our feast is to let him be the host. Short in stature, short in morals, but a tall stack of money had he. Zacchaeus couldn’t resist the desire to see Jesus. What identified Zacchaeus was replaced with Jesus. Jesus healed another blind man. Jesus became the host of Zacchaeus’ house by way of salvation.

From Birth to Life
The virgin birth further blinds those who already can’t see. Jesus’ life and ministry isn’t disputed, his identity is. Jesus’ death isn’t disputed, the effect is. The victory of the cross was the resurrection of the Christ. Jesus’ resurrection is disputed, but the effect isn’t.
