Look,
Wise men
Job
Sign
God speaks to us in our language
Creation testifies
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world. —Psalm 19:1-4
General Revelation - Special Revelation
General is not enough
Looked - discerned
Discernment is a journey
Herod, his advisors aid even though they are evil
Found Christ
Not hidden, but not owned by the world
Herod will never be
Move past the world
Seek him…we will always find him
Proclaim and Point
People among us whom God is calling
Who will tell them?
In our own hearts and minds, when we feel lost
let’s be for one another
Takes courage
Steer into a skid
Regains control
Trust Jesus
We will find him
He gives us everything we need
One day, kings will enter Jerusalem
Is. 60
Until then, let’s come to the table
Prayer - eyes open
Go - seek, courage
