From the Pastor

When we read the Christmas story in the book of Matthew 2,

we are introduced to three different characters: Herod, the priests

and scribes, and the wise men from the East. These three represent

different attitudes toward God. Herod’s attitude was one of

indignation, hatred, and hostility. The chief priests and scribes were

apathetic toward the possible birth of the Promised One. It was the

wise men who declared, “If there is a God and we can know Him,

we will search for Him with all of our hearts.” This should be our

daily attitude toward King Jesus. If Jesus is who He says He is, we must lay at His

feet and offer our lives as a living sacrifice. We must bring glory to His name by

proclaiming Him to the hostile and apathetic in our world. Wise men still seek Him,

even today!

Thank you to everyone who is standing in the gap in our absence. Encourage one

another and Josh by being in your place this Sunday! I am writing this in the DFW

airport at 8:00 am. My morning has already consisted of sharing the Gospel with a

business man from Mexico, having a great time sharing testimonies with my shuttle

driver, and a quick witness with an airline pilot in line for coffee (he bought mine…

that’s a win/win!).

Keep seeking Him like a wise man!

Bro. Tommy

Thank You from …
