Matt: 2:1. The Wise Men took time to take the journey. They took action.

Pastor’s thoughts (Take Action)
-Every one of us has a decision to make in life. Do we believe Jesus is to be worshipped? If the answer is yes, then it’s time for Gods people to Worship Jesus our King of Kings, with exceeding great joy.
-Bring him some gifts, the gift of time. Spend time reading the bible, spend time praying, spend time in church faithfully, and spend time giving.
-Once you have made the decision that Jesus is the only way and he is worthy to be worshipped, then as God pursues you and forgives you of sin, you will want to take time to go on this journey, like the wise men did.
-Don’t just believe, take actions that show you have received his Love.
