Finding God Above Our Heads Redemption Rock Pastor Mike Pratt December 13, 2015

Where’s your Bible? Time to find Matthew 2:1-12

Meet my friend George I’m not a bad person! I’m pretty good! I’m sincere in what I believe though I don’t believe in Jesus. So I should go to heaven, right?

Meet my friend Sally I practically live in the church! I was born into a Christian family. I’ve been to dozens of retreats. I’m very loyal to my church and therefore should go to heaven, right?

Meet my friend Kevin I’ve studied the Scriptures relentlessly. I know all about God and Jesus. Ask me anything! I’m very familiar with the Bible therefore I should go to heaven, right?

Don’t look up here for the scripture, it’s in your Bible. Matthew 2:1-12 Don’t look up here for the scripture, it’s in your Bible.

The major point in this section of scripture is God.

What did King Herod miss “Above His Head?” His pride prevented him from humbling himself and worshiping the King of kings.

What did the Jews living in Jerusalem miss “Above Their Heads?” They missed what God was telling them through the Magi!

What did the chief priests and teachers of the law miss “Above Their Heads?” Their pride prevented them from humbling themselves and worshiping the King of kings.

Who do you relate to? George Sally Kevin The Magi
