How To Find Jesus: Lessons from the Wise Men
Matthew 2:1-12
Intro

How to find Jesus
1. See the Signs
-Wise Men saw the star- miraculous phenomenon
-Witness of creation- Romans 1:20
Possible signs that are leading you to Jesus
   -Life changing event
   -Lack of purpose
   -Lack of true satisfaction
   -Conviction- guilt from your sin

2. Search the scriptures
-Wise men looked for answers from God’s people
   -They used scripture to answer the Wise Men
-Search the Bible to answer your questions
   -Prophecy of the Old Testament
   -Testimony of the New Testament
   -study your own Bible
   -go to our website to “Who is Jesus?”
   -ask a Christ follower in our church that you trust

-The Wise Men searched until they found Jesus!
   -they trusted the scriptures- went to Bethlehem
-Keep searching for Jesus through the testimony of
   His followers, through His church, this church!
   -let the evidence lead you to Jesus!

3. Surrender yourself
-Wise men searched until they found Jesus!
-Wise men immediately knelt and worshiped Jesus
-Wise men gave generously to Jesus
-Wise men dedicated their future to Jesus

What is your next wise step?
See the signs
-What are other people telling you?

-What circumstances are revealing your need to change?

-How has everything else you have tried failed to satisfy?

Search the scripture
-Is there anything more you need to learn about Jesus before you give your life to Him?

-You may really need more information

-Or, you may be using this as an excuse to keep rejecting Jesus

Surrender yourself to Jesus right now!
-surrender your whole life to Jesus

-surrender all you have to Jesus

-surrender your future to Jesus

The Names of Jesus, Part 2

12/15/2019

0 Comments

December 15, 2019: How many names do you have, and what does your name say about you? In the Bible, God introduces us to Jesus by way of over 50 names and titles, and the believer in Christ who learns and appreciates how the Father has named his Son gains wonderful understanding about his character and his attributes. Today is the second of this series on the names of Jesus, and today we focus on Yeshua or, "The Lord Saves"; The Annointed/The Chosen One; Immanuel, or "God with us"; Poinaimo or "Ruler-Shepherd"; My Son; Nazarene.

Reasons to believe, part 3: Flight to Egypt

12/30/2018

By Greg Byman
St Joe Community Church
December 30, 2018

It was prophesied that the Messiah would flee to Egypt, and that is exactly what Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus did. Was Joseph and Mary just trying to dupe the world into believing that their son was the Messiah, and they were willing to flee to Egypt with the hope of pulling off what they knew was a ruse? Today, Pastor Byman concludes a three-part sermon series that explores the credibility of the claim by Jesus and his followers that undergirds the rationale for the church celebrating Christmas. Part 1, Dec 16: Jesus actually, as a matter of documented history, was born of a virgin. Part 2, Dec 23: Jesus actually, as a matter of documented history, was predicted to be born in Bethlehem. Part 3, Dec 30: Jesus actually, as a matter of documented history, was predicted to be exiled into Egypt.

Successfully predicting simple things like the weather is tough enough. Successfully predicting anything with precision hundreds and even thousands of years into the future is simply impossible for anybody...except for someone with the power to pull it off -- God. Pastor Byman has carved out the last three Sundays of 2018 to present reasons for any intellectually honest seeker to believe, that Jesus is who he said he was -- the Christ child.
