Message Notes

Tracing the Footsteps of Jesus #3
House of the Baker


While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them. Luke 2:6-7

On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. Matthew 2:11

"I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near. A star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel. He will crush the foreheads of Moab, the skulls of all the people of Sheth." Numbers 24:17

"But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times." Micah 5:2

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.   Matthew 2:9-10

On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route. Matthew 2:11-12

When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. Matthew 2:16

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.  John 1:1-3

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14

This Week the message is The Scandal of Nazareth. This message will give us a historical context on the complexity that came with Mary's pregnancy.  With Joseph only engaged to Mary, he had a tough decision to make, but thankfully, the Lord was there to guide him.

Next Week the message is Born in the House of the Baker. The third installment of our series will give us  the Christmas story as if we were in Bethlehem ourselves.  As we see how the people of Bethlehem lived during the time of Christ, we will get a greater understanding on what Mary went through as she gave birth to Jesus.


Yard Sale Results: The Pathfinders raised $1547. Thank you to everyone help helped.

$1070 raised so far

Small Groups: This is a video series called Tracing the Footsteps of Jesus. There are sign up sheets in the foyer. It's not too late to join a group.

The flowers today are for Margarette's Dad's birthday.
