Training In The Trenches - Part 2 of 2

March 02, 2020 04:00

Jesus was always looking ahead. At the point we've been studying, say, two-thirds of the way through His earthly ministry, Christ is looking toward the Cross. And He's thinking about the time after that, after His resurrection and ascension, when the Disciples will be carrying on the work. On Friday we had to put our bookmark in Matthew 14. We have a hungry crowd and way too few groceries. Here's Jim to resume the story. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160A...

Training In The Trenches - Part 1 of 2

February 28, 2020 04:00

Are we willing to obey whatever Jesus commands? Or are we looking for excuses to fail? The Disciples saw a need: the need for a large catering operation, immediately. But they didn't yet have the creative imagination or the faith to take care of the need. So the Lord walked them through a miracle - we call it the "Feeding of the Five-Thousand." It came after a devastating blow from the devil. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am,...

Understanding The Kingdom Of Heaven - Part 2 of 2

February 27, 2020 04:00

No matter how much you like fish, you'll find some to be inedible! After Jesus had given some agricultural parables and others, He gave the fishermen a tale they could relate to: some call it the Parable of the Net. It's very simple... and devastating to the heresy of universalism. When the net is finally full, the great sorting operation will begin. This continues the sermon we started yesterday, Understanding the Kingdom of Heaven. Jim begins with a quick review. He's in Matthew 13, verse...

Understanding The Kingdom Of Heaven - Part 1 of 2

February 26, 2020 04:00

The kingdom of heaven is like...several things! God's government is similar to some things we know, and yet different. Jesus gives us 7 analogies in the parables captured in Matthew 13. They're windows into how things work in the spiritual realm. Only by examining all of these views will we get anything like a balanced picture. Here's Jim to begin a sermon called Understanding the Kingdom of Heaven. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at ...

The Purpose Of Parables - Part 2 of 2

February 25, 2020 04:00

Some people find faith, only to lose it before they pull out of the parking lot. And some people are fair-weather Christians; fine until things get rocky. Some are worldly, and get pulled away. But some are the kind of believers we want to be, who stay rooted in truth and bear fruit. Jesus' Parable of the Sower explains why so many don't endure till the end. Pastor Jim is reading from Matthew 13, verse 18. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, ...

The Purpose Of Parables - Part 1 of 2

February 24, 2020 04:00

How do you get word to your allies when your enemies are listening? You speak in code! Parables aren't exactly "code," but when presented expertly, they can serve the purpose of enlightening insiders, while keeping outsiders in the dark. And Jesus was the expert's Expert at parables. Again, Matthew connects the dots back to Old Testament prophecy, to remind us that this is exactly what we could expect Messiah to do. Continuing in the first Gospel, here's the beginning half of Jim's sermon, ...

The King And His Critics - Part 2 of 2

February 21, 2020 04:00

We don't pay enough attention to our words. We're very careless with what we say; a slight exaggeration here, a tiny invented detail there, so what? Well, Jesus said we will be judged by our careless words. And as we look today at a tense exchange between Christ and the Pharisees, we'll see that the dreaded "unpardonable sin" is one committed through speech. Jim is reading from Matthew 12, verse 22. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at ...

The King And His Critics - Part 1 of 2

February 20, 2020 04:00

Is it lawful to plot murder on Saturday? That's a question Jesus could have asked the Pharisees. They were trying to paint Him into a corner with their question, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" But they had no qualms about conspiring to frame and assassinate a righteous Man - even on the day of rest. (Nice guys, those Pharisees!) As we continue in the Gospel of Matthew, we'll read about both the growing opposition to Christ, and what He did about it. Here's Jim with part 1 of the ser...

Crossroads Of Divine Sovereignty And Human Choice - Part 2 of 2

February 19, 2020 04:00

We are responsible for our response! The word "responsibility" really does have the same root as "respond." We are "answerable" for our answer to grace. God initiates, we react - either in faith, or in a spiraling hardness of heart. We started thinking about these things yesterday in a message called Crossroads of Divine Sovereignty and Human Choice. Here's Jim back in Matthew 11. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM...

Crossroads Of Divine Sovereignty And Human Choice - Part 1 of 2

February 18, 2020 04:00

Jesus taught that God reigns supreme over human events...in such a way that our choices are real, and carry real consequences. Our life here is not a puppet show. But neither is it an "improv" performance, with the outcome unknown. Somehow our theology has to embrace both those truths: God is sovereign; and man does have free will. It's a mystery, but there are plenty of those. The Lord took his audience into the thick of the issue in Matthew, chapter 11. Listen to Right Start Radio every ...

Are You The One? - Part 2 of 2

February 17, 2020 04:00

Is Jesus the Savior of the world...or its Judge? Yes! If you were with us on Friday you'll remember we talked about the 2 main missions of Messiah: The redemption of the world; and the final reckoning and renewal of the world. At first it wasn't clear, even to His followers, that these goals would be accomplished in two separate trips. Jim is taking us through Matthew, showing us that the Lord saw conflict before the crown. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 11...

Are You The One? - Part 1 of 2

February 14, 2020 04:00

We have a piece of information that John the Baptist lacked. Of course the Lord didn't meet the expectations of His enemies. But even His friends were perplexed. The prophets had portrayed Messiah as a triumphant king. At some point Jesus would have to lay down the teaching and healing business, and take up the scepter of power. They didn't understand that that point was still in the distant future. But Jesus did understand. Today we'll hear the first half of the sermon, Are You the One? Pa...

A Shift In Stategy - Part 2 of 2

February 13, 2020 04:00

We wouldn't expect much from 12 laymen on their first ministry trip - but Jesus did! If anything, we'd expect a dozen rookies to mess things up, and we'd entrust them with just a token authority, so they couldn't get into too much trouble. But the Lord sent them out - two by two, as Mark adds - with a serious mission: to announce the King's arrival, to heal, and to cast out demons. In short, to replicate what Christ was doing. We're in Matthew 10 for the second half of A Shift in Strategy. ...

A Shift In Stategy - Part 1 of 2

February 12, 2020 04:00

The kingdom of God is a living organism - it reproduces itself! During the first half of Jesus' ministry it looked like one Person at the podium, the audience listening - the common teacher/student relationship. But then a switch was thrown. The rest of His earthly campaign would look much different. The Lord would invest some of His trainees with not only His message, but His power. Our journey through the Gospel of Matthew has reached a critical juncture. Here's Part 1 of Jim's sermon, A ...

Master's Scrapbook - Part 2 of 2

February 11, 2020 04:00

Is God playing "Whack-A-Mole" with us? The Pharisees pictured the Almighty as holding a giant mallet, ready to thump people on the head for their misdeeds. Jesus - without downplaying the seriousness of sin - taught that God's first impulse is to forgive. We're leafing through the word-pictures Matthew has painted for us, as we conclude Jim's sermon, Master's Scrapbook. We'll open to chapter 9. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30a...

Master's Scrapbook - Part 1 of 2

February 10, 2020 04:00

Was Jesus Christ a "superstar?" If you're a compelling speaker and you provide lunch, you're going to draw a crowd. Start healing people - and antagonize the religious elite - and you'll be headline news. But Jesus didn't do any of that to grab the spotlight. He did all of it to demonstrate the heart of God. We start the week with a new sermon in the Gospel of Matthew, called Master's Scrapbook. Here's Pastor Jim. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cinc...

The Business Of Authority - Part 2 of 2

February 07, 2020 04:00

The Lord "spoke with authority" on the Scriptures...because He authored the Scriptures! But there was much more. As the disciples and the crowds were discovering, Jesus held power over sickness, and over demons. He even claimed the divine prerogative of forgiving sins! We'll pick up the sermon we had to "pause" yesterday, called The Business of Authority, starting in Matthew, chapter 8. And Pastor Jim opens with a question for you. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on...

The Business Of Authority - Part 1 of 2

February 06, 2020 04:00

Like all good preachers, Jesus brought His sermon home with a call to action! The outcasts and the downtrodden are God's favorites. The Law is still in effect, and grace will empower us to live it. Don't turn your religion into a show. Get off the treadmill and seek rightness. Oh, and the Lord's Prayer. These are some of the things listeners heard in the Sermon on the Mount. It was life-changing, world-changing stuff. But as He drew His message to a close, Jesus would charge his audience wi...

Building A Life Worthy - Part 2 of 2

February 05, 2020 04:00

Socrates spoke against the "unexamined life." Jesus warns us of the undisciplined life. From the Lord's metaphor of the "narrow road," we can understand that following Him won't make us popular; and that the way will feel restrictive, sometimes. Oh, there is joy in the Christian life, and extended family; but first and foremost ours is the road of obedience, not the road of instant gratification. We've been studying the Sermon on the Mount in chapters 5 through 7 of Matthew. Here's the conc...

Building A Life Worthy - Part 1 of 2

February 04, 2020 04:00

"Judge not, that you be not judged." It's the favorite saying of Christ among those who don't want to come under the rulership of Christ: "Judge not." But of course it can't mean that we shouldn't call sin, "sin." A few sentences later Jesus tells his followers, "Don't cast your pearls before swine" - requiring us to discern the holy from the unholy, and the worthy from the unworthy. We're continuing our quick survey of the Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew's Gospel. Jim's new sermon is calle...

Righteousness: Conduct And Character - Part 2 of 2

February 03, 2020 04:00

Too many people believe in the Gospel of It Seems to Me. If we are in fact corrupt in our core - if "the heart is desperately wicked," as Jeremiah put it - then we'll never be able to figure out what God requires, using our own reason. We'll need the light of revelation, and even then we'll need new eyes to see it. On today's edition we continue our study of the Sermon on the Mount. We're in Matthew, chapter 6 with Jim. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM...

Righteousness: Conduct And Character - Part 1 of 2

January 31, 2020 04:00

Jesus didn't come to lower the bar; He came to lift us over it. As crooked beings we have a hard time imagining what it means to be plumb and level. We are "out of true," to borrow an expression from the tradesmen, and no bent person is able to straighten himself out. So when Jesus started teaching His disciples formally, in public, He started at the beginning. What is righteousness? What does it look like? Here's Jim to open a new message from the Sermon on the Mount. We're in Matthew, cha...

Character Of Kingdom Citizens - Part 2 of 2

January 30, 2020 04:00

"The Law of the LORD is perfect," sang the psalmist. But it was never designed to replace the Holy Spirit! We have a heart problem. And the doctor can show us x-rays of our damaged heart all day long; it isn't going to help. We need for him to get in there and make some radical changes! The Law is that x-ray - The Apostle James called it a mirror. We need it, but we need much more. Yesterday Pastor Jim opened a message on the Sermon on the Mount called, Character of Kingdom Citizens. Here's...

Character Of Kingdom Citizens - Part 1 of 2

January 29, 2020 04:00

If God were to come down and chat with us, we'd expect Him to tell us that we're thinking about some things the wrong way. Well, God did come and talk to us in the person of His Son, and Jesus did try to set us straight about some very basic things. In His famous Sermon on the Mount, He turns a lot of our human values upside-down - or I should say, rightside-up. For example, Who is blessed; it's not necessarily the rich-and- famous. If we listen to Him, we'll get the view from heaven, and e...

Jesus Goes Public - Part 2 of 2

January 28, 2020 04:00

It's everyone's favorite sermon. Christians love it, non-Christians love it - I wouldn't be surprised if even baby ducks love it. It's the Sermon on the Mount, and today Jim will give us a framework for understanding it. Matthew shows us that, early in Jesus' ministry, He's not just proclaiming the Kingdom; the Lord is inaugurating it with all-inclusive miracles of healing. We're in Matthew 4:23 with Jim. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, O...

Jesus Goes Public - Part 1 of 2

January 27, 2020 04:00

When Jesus launched His ministry, one of the first things He did was bring in some fishermen! The Lord didn't initially recruit theologians, or skilled speakers, or even natural leaders. He began his talent search on the lake. Or rather, on the Sea of Galilee. He wanted some men who lived for a bountiful catch. Today we'll be in Matthew, chapter 4, for the first half of the sermon Jesus Goes Public. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at ...

The Science Of Temptation - Part 2 of 2

January 24, 2020 04:00

When Jesus and Satan spoke candidly, wouldn't you like to have been a fly on the wall? Matthew, in his Gospel, puts us on the scene of that epic conversation between the Deceiver and the Redeemer. The Devil had tempted many people over thousands of years, and he was undefeated in these contests of the will. If one pressure point didn't work, there were others. Here's Jim in Matthew, chapter 4. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am...

The Science Of Temptation - Part 1 of 2

January 23, 2020 04:00

"Your eternal destiny was a sandwich away." Esau sold his future for some stew. Eve gave her life for a piece of fruit. With Jesus hungry, weak and alone, the devil probably thought he was one lip-smack away from his goal: the total destruction of the human race. As you may have guessed, we're in Matthew, chapter 4 today - the Wilderness Temptation. Some of us have heard this story since childhood, but Pastor Jim will help us think about it more deeply. Here's Part 1 of The Science of Tempt...

Heaven Confirms - Part 2 of 2

January 22, 2020 04:00

Sometimes you're just having church...and God shows up! It was just another day at the river for John the Baptist. He was fulfilling his ministry, as usual. Then Jesus comes to him with a strange request. John baptized for repentance - what would that even mean for Someone who had nothing to repent of? But John yielded in his heart without fully understanding in his mind, and his obedience was rewarded instantly. Here's Jim in Matthew, chapter 3, to bring us the second half of his sermon, H...

Heaven Confirms - Part 1 of 2

January 21, 2020 04:00

John the Baptist had good news, and bad news...and it was the same news! The declaration, "The Kingdom of heaven is near" sounds like sweet relief to sinners who know they need a Savior; but it's a clanging alarm bell in the ears of proud legalists. And it was the theme of John's preaching. But the Pharisees weren't the only ones who would have their expectations "adjusted" when Jesus came on the scene. Today Pastor Jim has us in Matthew, chapter 3 for the first part of his message, Heaven ...

Matthew And The Magi - Part 2 of 2

January 20, 2020 04:00

"We have seen His star in the East, and have come to worship Him!" It was no mere astronomical phenomenon that caused the Magi to pack their treasures and set out on a long journey. This "star" sent them in search of more than a king. Someone divine had been born - the Son of God. Jim is in Matthew 2, verse 1. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am and WRZN ...

Matthew And The Magi - Part 1 of 2

January 17, 2020 04:00

Your failures don't derail God's plan. Matthew lays out the genealogy of Jesus in a way that puts Israel's unfaithfulness front-and-center. Despite wicked kings, a covenant-breaking nation and God's punishment, Messiah is here - and He is recognized in unexpected places Jim will start in Matthew 1. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, OH) at 9:00am and WRZN 720AM (Gaine...

All This Took Place To Fulfill - Part 2 of 2

January 16, 2020 04:00

A virgin conception? "Inconceivable!" Inconceivable, to human minds. Remember that it was God who invented this sign and spoke it through Isaiah, long before there was a Mary. And it was the first in a long list of prophecies that Jesus fulfilled. In his Gospel Matthew challenged his Jewish readers to believe what they claimed to believe - the Hebrew Scriptures. Here's Pastor Jim in Matthew 1, verse 18. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH)...

All This Took Place To Fulfill - Part 1 of 2

January 15, 2020 04:00

If you want to capture a reader's attention, don't begin your book with the "begats." Matthew was writing for a different audience, in a different time. For them, Jesus' lineage is an explosive opening! A son of Abraham - obviously. A son of David - ah, tell me more! And there are some surprise branches on the family tree. Today Jim opens to the first page of the New Testament with the sermon, All This Took Place to Fulfill. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1...

Why Study Matthew? - Part 2 of 2

January 14, 2020 04:00

Matthew is not a neutral observer - and that's OK! There has never been an unbiased reporter or an unbiased report, and thankfully it seems that people are waking up from that fantasy. The things that Matthew saw convinced him that Jesus is the Messiah, and he writes to convince others. We can hardly imagine anyone coming in contact with the preacher from Nazareth, and coming away with no opinion! Today Jim will complete the message he started yesterday. It introduces our new study of the f...

Why Study Matthew? - Part 1 of 2

January 13, 2020 04:00

Why study Matthew? That's a good question, and it's the title of a sermon we'll open today. In the four Gospels we get four different perspectives on the ministry of Jesus. Matthew gives us an insider's view, as one of the Twelve. He brings an accountant's attention to detail to his narrative. And above all, he wants us to feel the immense weight of the evidence of fulfilled prophecy. Who was this IRS agent named Matthew, and why do his words still matter? Listen to Right Start Radio every...

Revelation Wrap Up - Part 1 of 1

January 10, 2020 04:00

Martin Luther King said, “Everything that we see is a shadow cast by that which we do not see.” Jim will talk about the relationship between our world of shadows and effects, and God's realm of reality and causes. That's one of several impressions he'll give us from this latest study in the book of Revelation. He'll also deal with imposters, and give us confidence that what we're reading is the genuine article. Here is Revelation Wrap-Up. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Fr...

Revelation Q&A Part 4 - Part 2 of 2

January 09, 2020 04:00

You've heard about the "Pre-Tribulation Rapture," "Post-Trib," and even the "Mid-Trib" view. How about a 4th option? Today we'll finish up our Q&A on the book of Revelation, looking at the timing of the 21 judgments we read there. And Jim will also weigh in on the so- called "Pre-Wrath Tribulation" theory. As I understand it, it would place the Rapture about 3/4 of the way through the Great Tribulation. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH)...

Revelation Q&A Part 4 - Part 1 of 2

January 08, 2020 04:00

What's the timing of the judgments cited in the book of Revelation? We've spent a good amount of time in John's Apocalypse, and as we wind down the series some questions remain. Inquiring minds want to know: not just "When will all these things happen?" but when will each event happen? Or can we know that from the text? Jesus gave us a synchronization point: the Abomination of Desolation. And He told us that things would happen "quickly;" that is, suddenly. Here's Jim to open the sermon, Re...

Revelation Q&A Part 3 - Part 2 of 2

January 07, 2020 04:00

If salvation comes through faith in Jesus, how was anyone saved, "B.C.?" The Bible declares people like Abraham, Job and Noah "righteous." Better than that, it explains how they attained their right standing with God. We're listening to the conclusion of, Revelation Q&A, Part 3, and we'll start with a question we heard yesterday.... Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00pm, WRFD 880AM (Columbus, ...

Revelation Q&A Part 3 - Part 1 of 2

January 06, 2020 04:00

The questions will come rapid-fire today - and one of them may stump Jim! Our post-Revelation Q&A discussion has entered the "lightning round," with multiple questions covered today. The last one one is a tough one, and it could be that no one has the answer to it, yet! Listen and see if some of your puzzles about the End Times are solved in the next 30 minutes. Here's Jim with the opening half of the message, Revelation Q&A, Part 3. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday ...

End Times Q&A Part 2 - Part 2 of 2

January 03, 2020 04:00

If we exchange the truth of God for a lie, we'll end up exchanging men for women! Romans 1 shows us the regression of humanity. It starts with poets asking us to "Imagine there's no heaven," and ends with a society that's literally insane. Jim is answering a question about 2 Thessalonians 2, and the "strong delusion" that God sends on those who reject truth. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM (Columbus, OH) at 5:00...

End Times Q&A Part 2 - Part 1 of 2

January 02, 2020 04:00

Does God delude people? ...Don't answer too quickly! "For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie," according to 2 Thessalonians 2:11. So we need to know "what reason," "who are 'they'," and "what's the context?" Today, Jim will answer a question about an End Times passage outside the book of Revelation. We'll see that the Judge of all the earth will do right...but those who reject the truth multiply their own punishment. Listen to Right Start Radio...

End Times Q&A Part 1 - Part 2 of 2

January 01, 2020 04:00

We're not saved by our works, but the saved will have works...and rewards! As we closed the book on 2019, and the book of Revelation, Jim set aside some time to answer questions. Yesterday he supported the belief that there will be varying degrees of punishment in the lake of fire. Today he turns the question around, and shows clearly that there will be different levels of reward for the redeemed. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:...

End Times Q&A Part 1 - Part 1 of 2

December 31, 2019 04:00

Will hell be hotter for Osama bin Laden, than for some unreached tribesman who never did anything worse than steal some fruit? As we did at the end of our previous Revelation study, we've set aside some time for questions from the congregation. And there are some good ones. Today we'll tackle something that Jim touched on in this series, but didn't really explain: the concept of varying degrees of punishment for the lost. We treat criminals differently based on their intent, and their capac...

The Lamb's Wife - Part 3 of 3

December 30, 2019 04:00

It's hard to imagine a world without sin, or its consequences. But let's try! Fallen people want God to remove the fallout of sin, but leave the cause. His program, of course, is quite different. Once He has dealt fully with sin and Satan, all of the things we must accept now as "the human condition" will melt away: death, sickness, pain. Because, as John writes in Revelation, "There will no longer be any curse." We're getting close to the final "Amen" in the Bible as Jim completes the mess...

The Lamb's Wife - Part 2 of 3

December 27, 2019 04:00

When we want to describe a beautiful, impressive building, we say, "It's like the Taj Mahal." The Taj Mahal was built to honor a wife who had died. It's magnificent, but she never saw it. Well, Jesus is working on a little construction project for His Bride - and when He's finished it will be an entire city, called the New Jerusalem. We will not only see it, but live in it. Here's the middle section of Jim's sermon The Lamb's Wife. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on...

The Lamb's Wife - Part 1 of 3

December 26, 2019 04:00

The book of Revelation focuses on Jesus, and He is focused on His Bride - on us! We're moving away from Christmas, and back to our normal routines...slowly...but you can stay in "celebration" mode because we'll be looking at Revelation 21 today. "Come, I will show you the Bride, the Wife of the Lamb," an angel said. Who is this heavenly being? And what are we supposed to understand about the symbolism of the Bride? Jim will help us find our place in the text again. Here's the first part of ...

We Have Seen His Star - Part 2 of 2

December 25, 2019 04:00

Some wanted to worship the baby Jesus, one wanted to kill Him, and some were just saying, "Meh." By the time Jesus was a toddler, people were already rejecting Him - with Herod even plotting to kill Him. Those who really didn't seem to care one way or the other - the Priests and the Scribes - would come to hate Him later, when He exposed their hypocrisy. Yesterday we heard the first part of a Christmas message called, We Have Seen His Star. Now here's Pastor Jim with Part 2, from Matthew 2....

We Have Seen His Star - Part 1 of 2

December 24, 2019 04:00

Hopeful Jews weren't the only ones awaiting the Messiah. Some Gentiles were looking for His sign...in the stars. The children of Israel had obvious reasons to watch for a heavenly King; they had the Scriptures. But some learned astrologers in the land of Persia also had a kind of faith. God was calling them, too. Here's Pastor Jim with Part 1 of his message, We Have Seen His Star. Listen to Right Start Radio every Monday through Friday on WCVX 1160AM (Cincinnati, OH) at 9:30am, WHKC 91.5FM...
