This week we do a deep dive into what is our purpose as mature Christians. Where do you go from here? How to be a star witness. The Wise Men were searching for a star. So are most people. What’s the deal with the Three Kings, Magi or Wise Men? We talk about that too. The book of Isaiah.
Thank you and Merry Christmas.

Most that know about God are searching for Him. We want the real
thing. We want to know the purpose of our life and what leads to
true fulfillment. We desire to love and be loved. We wonder what
life is all about, and if there is something more.
God is love. He is good, and has your best interests at heart. God can be trusted and is constantly working for your good.
You know in todays language that if you want your message to go viral it has to be shared. God wants us to be his stars. His Star Witnesses - one who has a vital message and is able to share it with others.
that is what church is supposed to be doing for you. it is supposed to get you to a place where you can translate spiritual truth to a dying world. Our families, our communities, our country needs the truth.
amen somebody.
So how do we get there? How do we become star witnesses. We have to get ourselves right first.
I got a list of 8 steps. You are probably not on step one and that is a good thing but you probably haven’t moved from one stage for years. and how could you?
