Message

HEAVEN AND NATURE SING
“A Song that Begins in the Heart"
Matthew 2:1-12 

Introduction: All of Heaven & Nature sing praise to God. But His favorite song is the song of the Redeemed- a song that begins in the Heart. We call this Personal Worship.

Personal Worship…

Starts in Seeking before Singing (Matthew 2:1-8)

- It’s not the sound of the song, but rather the sincerity of the heart that makes worship music in God’s ears.

Grows in Giving with Gladness (2:9-11)
- Worship is not just Taking in, it’s Giving back
- We are to give…
      our King our Best: Gold
      our Priest our Worst: Frankincense
      our Savior our Lives: Myrrh

Ends in Obedience over Obligation (Matthew 2:12)

Application: Heaven & Nature sing- the angels, the stars, the wind, the oceans, the trees all proclaim the glory of God. But the song God is waiting to hear is Yours. Will you join Heaven & Nature in Worship this Christmas?
