Magi Christmas

The Wise Still Seek Him

Magi Christmas, Week 1

November 27, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 2:1–12

The wise men came from the East to worship the Christ. But news of the birth of Jesus upset King Herod—so he sought to kill his rival. From day one, people were either for or against Jesus.

Magi Christmas, Week 2

December 4, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 6:25–34

When we are looking out for ourselves, it’s hard to see others. It’s hard to see Jesus. But Jesus is looking out for us. To the degree we are confident of Christ’s care for us, we will in the same measure be set free to take care of others.

Magi Christmas, Week 3

December 11, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Mark 14:3–9

How do you measure an act of generosity? If one person’s trash is another person’s treasure, then one person’s sacrifice may be insignificant to another--and vice versa. So, what you treasure may provide the measure.

Advent Candlelight Service

December 14, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Luke 2

What child is this? That’s the question posed by Mary, her husband, shepherds, peasants, angels, and kings. Do you know the answer? Who is this Jesus? After some 2000 years, we’ve only just begun to know!

Magi Christmas, Week 4

December 18, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • 2 Corinthians 9:6–15

How on God’s green earth can I muster the right motive? Can love be demanded? Certainly not. So if giving to another is transactional at worst or mere obedience at best, then what? Maybe giving is just practice for something more important.

Magi Christmas, Week 5

December 25, 2022 • Pastor Joe Sullivan • Matthew 25:31–40

Do you want to see Jesus? I’ll tell you how you can see Him. He is closer than you ever thought. Jesus promised He would never leave us. We too easily miss Jesus ‘cause we’re not looking in the right direction.
