The War Between
the Wise and the Foolish!
Mike Fritscher, Pastor

Matthew 2:1-12

Romans 8:32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?

The wise worship the one true God, the fool worships the one true self!

Matthew 1:1-12

•  The Worship of the Wise!

1. They Know Who They Are Looking For!

Numbers 24:17 "I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.

Romans 1:20-25 – Worshiping Creation Vs. Worshiping God!

2. In Their Search, They Enquire!
3. In Their Worship They Give with No Expectation to Receive!
4. In Their Worship, They Obey! 

Romans 12:1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Take My Life and let it be consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take My moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
Take My Hands and let them move at the impulse of Thy love.
Take My feet and let them be swift and beautiful for Thee.
Take My Voice and let me sing always, only, for my King.
Take My lips and let them be filled with messages from Thee.
Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use ever power as Thou shalt choose.
Take my will and make it Thine; it shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is thine own, it shall be Thy royal throne.
Take my love , my Lord, I pour at Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be ever, only all for Thee.

•  The War on the Wise! Matthew 2:16-23

Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her seed; He shall bruise you on the head, And you shall bruise him on the heel."

1 Corinthians 2:1-8 – The Lord of Glory Crucified!
