Church notes - 10th December 2017

10th December
Psalm 23

Hope - The hope of Jesus' Return

Journey of Hope
Matthew 2:1 - 12
The Magi journeyed to find the Saviour.

Wise Men Still Seek Him
A journey of hope - they were yearning for Him.
No matter where we are today, we are invited to worship.
Mary didn't understand everything, but she treasured it in her heart.

A romanticised picture
- But there's a dark underbelly
- Herod's jelousy! He wanted to maintain power.
- So Mary and Joseph had to flee to Egypt!

Isaiah 7:14
Isaiah 9:2

A period of waiting
(A contrast to our 'instant gratification' culture!)
The wait reminds us of what our hope is. We also wait for the ultimate fulfillment, of His Return.

Revelation 7:15 - 17
