Sunday Sermon – Jan.7, 2024

Westminster 170 Steel Street, Barrie

Details matter. Just ask someone who gets confused about which pills to take at which time, or someone who forgets to put on their winter tires. The nativity story is filled with critical details; God put them there for a reason, including the visit of the wise men (we don’t know how many there were, but their visit most likely occurred when Jesus was a toddler, despite what your nativity scenes seem to suggest). On January 7 Pastor Ruttan returns from vacation and takes us through Matthew 2. What is the significance of their visit not only then but now? We will worship and sing, pray together, and build one another up with new year hope. There will be Sunday school, nursery care, and fellowship time. “When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him.” -Matthew 2:10-11
