 “And when they had come into the house, they saw the young Child with Mary His mother, and fell down and worshiped Him. And when they had opened their treasures, they presented gifts to Him: gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”
–Matthew 2:11 It was entirely appropriate and culturally expected that when you entered the presence of royalty, you brought gifts equal to their authority and majesty. And although no gift could ever equal the authority and majesty of God Almighty, the gifts the Magi presented accurately represented the ministry of Jesus. Gold speaks of His royalty. Frankincense speaks of His divinity. And myrrh speaks to His death. This was the ministry of Jesus: As the royal heavenly authority, He came as humanity to die for humanity in order to save humanity from their sin. Jesus was born not only King of the Jews, but King of everybody and everything. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. He is Immanuel—God with us. He is Jesus—God our salvation.  The Inductive Bible Study system is a very thorough, methodical study of the Scriptures and can be used to teach anyone how to study God’s Word more effectively. This method teaches accurate observation of biblical passages, clarifies scriptures, and helps God's Word come alive. With a good translation of the Scriptures, you can be taught how to carefully observe, interpret, and apply God’s Word. This is a two-day event—Friday, January 26 (6-8:30pm) and Saturday, January 27 (9am-3pm) with guest presenter Pastor Dan Finfrock. Learn more about Pastor Dan and his ministry at www.icmbible.com. Cost is $35 and includes course materials and lunch on Saturday (on-site). Registration deadline is January 14th. “Inductive Bible Study is the way Calvary Chapel pastors study and teach the Word. This Inductive Bible Study course will be a great help to those who want to learn this method of study.”
—Pastor Chuck Smith  A new year. A new venture of faith. A new episode every Sunday evening. Worship through God's Word with us, as we pause and consider each and every chapter in The Book of Psalms. Please pray for this new project. I am incredibly excited to be released by the Lord to do this!
