This was so important to them that they traveled\u00a0 hundreds , perhaps thousands of miles to see this baby whose birth they believed through a study of the stars was to be the Savior of the world. Thus it was truly a search for salvation.<\/div>\n<div>Since they believed this child would be born in the Jewish community they came to Jerusalem, the capital to find out exactly where they could find him. Noting the child&apos;s importance they thought of him as a coming king of the Jews.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A.\u00a0 Three initial responses soon revealed themselves to this child&apos;s birth.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1. That of King Herod, who out of fear for anyone who might replace him as king, immediately planned to eliminate him.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a02. That of the Jewish religious leaders , who knew about the coming child through prophecy,but \u00a0simply ignored him. He was not the kind of king they were looking for.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3. The magi (wise men) kept up \u00a0the search , following the star till it shone over Bethlehem where the child and his family now lived in a house. So this birth story is later than that in Luke of how he was born in a barn with a visit by some shepherds.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0 B. Similar responses today.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1. Increasingly, even in our own nation; there are those who want to eliminate him because he frightens them. He might upset their plans.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. Even more are those who ignore him because he isn&apos;t what they are really looking for.\u00a0 They want\u00a0 a God who will do something for them physically not some one who is seeking to change their inner lives.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3. Fortunately there are\u00a0still those\u00a0who still search for him for the eternal benefit of their lives.\u00a0\u00a0 Is this true for you today?<\/div>\n<div>C. If we like the wise men are searching for him what will happen?<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 1. We will find him as did the wise men of old.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 2. Then what happens as a result of this discovery?<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 a. We will bow in worship. Bowing (humble worship) is the natural response when we meet the Christ.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 b. Like them we will also respond in offering our gifts (treasures) to him.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 c. Obedience to God.\u00a0 Like the wise men we will obey God even when it is difficult or inconvenient. Being warned in a dream by God not to return to Herod, they returned to their home by another route which in that part of the world could be very difficult.<\/div>\n<div>Have I been faithfully following the star in my search for the Christ over this past year or have I gotten sidetracked by so many things like the pandemic and associated issues?\u00a0 The first of this new year is a good time to examine my heart and make a re-commitment of my search for the Christ!<\/div>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-9253-2\"  class=\"panel-grid

ungodly.\u00a0 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die.\u00a0 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.\u201d ~Romans 5:5-8<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any

Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, \u2018Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest.\u2019\u201d ~Mark 6:30-31<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel\"\n\t\t\t data-anchor-id=\"7252021-when-im-weak\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" id=\"accordion-label-7252021-when-im-weak\" aria-controls=\"accordion-content-7252021-when-im-weak\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-title sow-accordion-title-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t7\/25\/2021 - When I'm Weak\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-open-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-ionicons\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf218;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-close-button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"sow-icon-ionicons\" data-sow-icon=\"&#xf209;\"\n\t\t \n\t\taria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<div\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"sow-accordion-panel-content\"\n\t\t\t\trole=\"region\"\n\t\t\t\taria-labelledby=\"accordion-label-7252021-when-im-weak\"\n\t\t\t\tid=\"accordion-content-7252021-when-im-weak\"\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"display: none;\"\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-border\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a id=\"6a01cb868ce42\" rel=\"wp-video-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ImhvI_HqnG0&#038;rel=0&#038;width=640&#038;height=360\" title=\"\">Click Here to watch the Sunday Worship Service<\/a>    <script>\r\n    \/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    jQuery(document).ready(function($){\r\n        $(function(){\r\n            var width = $(window).innerWidth();\r\n            var setwidth = parseFloat(640);\r\n            var ratio = parseFloat(0.5625);\r\n            var height = parseFloat(360);\r\n            var link = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ImhvI_HqnG0&amp;rel=0&amp;width=640&amp;height=360';\r\n            if(width < setwidth)\r\n            {\r\n                height = Math.floor(width * 0.5625);\r\n                \/\/console.log(\"device width \"+width+\", set width \"+640+\", ratio \"+0.5625+\", new height \"+ height);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('width', link, width);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('height', new_url, height);\r\n                $(\"a#6a01cb868ce42\").attr('href', new_url);\r\n                \/\/console.log(new_url);\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n    });\r\n    \/* ]]> *\/\r\n    <\/script><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a id=\"6a01cb868ce7f\" rel=\"wp-video-lightbox\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MFm5bNk0-Fg&#038;rel=0&#038;width=640&#038;height=360\" title=\"\">Click Here to watch the Sermon message<\/a>    <script>\r\n    \/* <![CDATA[ *\/\r\n    jQuery(document).ready(function($){\r\n        $(function(){\r\n            var width = $(window).innerWidth();\r\n            var setwidth = parseFloat(640);\r\n            var ratio = parseFloat(0.5625);\r\n            var height = parseFloat(360);\r\n            var link = 'https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MFm5bNk0-Fg&amp;rel=0&amp;width=640&amp;height=360';\r\n            if(width < setwidth)\r\n            {\r\n                height = Math.floor(width * 0.5625);\r\n                \/\/console.log(\"device width \"+width+\", set width \"+640+\", ratio \"+0.5625+\", new height \"+ height);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('width', link, width);\r\n                var new_url = wpvl_paramReplace('height', new_url, height);\r\n                $(\"a#6a01cb868ce7f\").attr('href', new_url);\r\n                \/\/console.log(new_url);\r\n            }\r\n        });\r\n    });\r\n    \/* ]]> *\/\r\n    <\/script><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><div class=\"bg-margin-for-link\"><input type='hidden' bg_collapse_expand='6a01cb868ce972022019715' value='6a01cb868ce972022019715'><input type='hidden' id='bg-show-more-text-6a01cb868ce972022019715' value='Show Notes &amp;

Repentance is a subject we don\u2019t hear much about in our day.<\/p>\n<p>WHAT IS IT?\u00a0\u00a0 Repentance is the recognition of our sin and our need and willingness to allow God to forgive us and make the needed changes in our life. It is the doorway to the room of living in a relationship with God. Repentance is essential for living as a Christian.<\/p>\n<p>Jesus began his public ministry with the words: \"The time has come, the Kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the Good News.\" Mark 1:15<\/p>\n<p>WHAT DOES REPENTANCE INVOLVE?\u00a0\u00a0 (Four basic parts or steps as follows.)<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>A change of mind.\u00a0\u00a0 HEAD<\/li>\n<li>A change of heart.\u00a0\u00a0 HEART<\/li>\n<li>Confession (admitting our sin) MOUTH<\/li>\n<li>A change of action.\u00a0 HANDS<\/li>\n<li>A CHANGE OF MIND.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\"Do not be conformed any longer to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.\" Romans 12:2<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We must become aware of our sin and need to repent.\u00a0 (Conviction for sin)<\/li>\n<li>The Holy Spirit may use various means, such as a sermon, Bible study, personal experience etc. to reveal our need to us.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Example from scripture. \u00a0(Isaiah had a vision of God as he mourned the death of his longtime king. In this vision he\u00a0saw the Holiness of God and as a result\u00a0also saw his own sinfulness and cried out: \"Woe is me, for I am lost...\") Isaiah 6:5<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We must own up to our sin.<\/li>\n<li>No excuses like:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It wasn&apos;t my fault!\u00a0 Everybody does it!\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Things just happen!<\/li>\n<li>We must see and agree with God regarding our sin and the needed changes in our life.<\/li>\n<li>CHANGE OF HEART.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>\"Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.\"\u00a0 Psalm 51:10<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>It must also affect our heart (emotions) Will.<\/li>\n<li>There must be a real describable all to do God&apos;s will.<\/li>\n<li>There needs to be true sorrow for sin.<\/li>\n<li>Sin is heart breaking as well as law-breaking.<\/li>\n<li>It breaks God&apos;s heart as well as his laws (commandments).<\/li>\n<li>It has tragic consequences.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>(Comparison to when traffic laws are broken) This may result in injury or death to someone including ourself.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>The wages of sin is death.<\/li>\n<li>We experience sorrow not only for the transgression but for the break in relationship with God, others or even within ourself.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>III. CONFESSION OF OUR SIN.\u00a0 (With our mouth)<\/p>\n<p>\"Then I acknowledged my sin to you (God) and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, &apos;I will confess my transgressions to the Lord, and you forgave the guilt of my sin.\"\u00a0 Psalm 32:5<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>We own up to our sin.

But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number.\u00a0 So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?\u201d ~1 Kings 3:7-9<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen the king said, \u2018Bring me a sword.\u2019 So they brought a sword for the king. He then gave an order: \u2018Cut the living child in two and give half to one and half to the other.\u2019 The woman whose son was alive was deeply moved out of love for her son and said to the king, \u2018Please, my lord, give her the living baby! Don\u2019t kill him!\u2019 But the other said, \u2018Neither I nor you shall have him. Cut him in two!\u2019\u201d ~1 Kings 3:24-26<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.\u00a0 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.\u201d ~James 1:4-6<\/p>\n<p><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-9253-11\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"siteorigin-panels-stretch panel-row-style-full-width panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-9253-11\" data-stretch-type=\"full-stretched\" ><div id=\"pgc-9253-11-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-9253-11-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-headline panel-first-child\" data-index=\"22\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-9253-11-0-0\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-headline so-widget-sow-headline-default-6b52635ceda7-9253\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><div class=\"sow-headline-container \">\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"panel-9253-11-0-1\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-accordion panel-last-child\" data-index=\"23\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-9253-11-0-1\" ><div\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\tclass=\"so-widget-sow-accordion so-widget-sow-accordion-default-a1d4a11f6bd9-9253\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t><h3 class=\"widget-title\">From Fear to Faith<\/h3><div>\n\t<div class=\"sow-accordion\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel\"\n\t\t\t data-anchor-id=\"11282021-zechariah-fears-the-promise\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header-container\" role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-panel-header\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" id=\"accordion-label-11282021-zechariah-fears-the-promise\" aria-controls=\"accordion-content-11282021-zechariah-fears-the-promise\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"sow-accordion-title sow-accordion-title-icon-left\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t11\/28\/2021 -
