Them Three Kings

Dec 15

'Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, '

Matthew 2:1

Dear Journey Family…

Aaaaand just like that, we are half way through December.

By this time we have already heard it more than a few times: “Jesus is the reason for the season”. This is obviously correct; if we believe that he was born in December as we traditionally celebrate. What does that mean, though? Whether he was born in December, in April or on the fourth of July, he is not a season. He is the reason for our existence, and the purpose and the goal of our existence, Colossians 1:16 “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.”

How does this affect me? Well, we shouldn’t just assign him a holiday, or a season. A day a year or two. We should dedicate our lives to the pursuit of knowing him as fully as we can, with everything at our disposal, with every fiber of our bodies.

These wise men give us an example of a life dedicated to the study, pursuit and sharing of the King.

We’ll keep talking about this on Sunday as we look at the wise men and the star and how that pursuit changed their lives.

Hispanic Christmas Party

We are getting ready to receive quite a few Hispanic families that we have invited; last Sunday we took our kids class caroling and were able to pass invitations to about 50 families plus others that we have invited individually. So please pray that this can be a great time of fellowship and that people are receptive to the message of the Gospel and our hospitality as we serve them this Saturday.

Again we ask for your prayers for this effort, and if you know any Hispanic family and would like to invite them, here is a link to the information in Spanish: link

And if you want to help in any way, or have questions please email or text Carlo (email address: carlo@journeychurchcolumbus.org; phone number: 614-315--3676)

Holidays Services

One week more and Christmas Eve is here! We hope you can join us with your family and friends to our celebration and remembrance of the birth of our Savior. We start on the 24th at 5pm.

Sunday, the 25th we will have our morning service at the usual time, 10am. Kids are welcome to come in their jammies.

Sunday, January 1st. We have our first service of the year.

We hope to see you all on these dates, but more than that, hopefully we can see each other more than once a week, either visiting, at a small group or maybe at the store, who knows.

That’s all we have this week.

Now it’s your turn to let us know what your thoughts are.

In what ways are you like the wise men? In what ways are you not like them?

Please let us know. As usual, we’d love to pray with you.

Email us to info@journeychurchcolumbus.org.

And until next time, thanks for reading!
