Are you ready to follow the star (Jesus)? Joe Thompson (12/14/25)

Cowboy Church Ministries Season 2025

The light still leads — the question is whether we’re willing to follow.


In this message, we look at the meaning behind the star that led the Magi to Jesus—and what it reveals about faith, obedience, and God’s perfect timing. Using Matthew 2:7–12, Daniel 2:48, Daniel 9:25, 1 John 4:9, Matthew 2:9–10, John 1:9, Matthew 2:11, and John 3:16–17, we trace how God prepared the way for Christ long before His birth.


In this sermon, we talk about:

•The faith of the Magi, who preserved and passed down the prophecy of the star for over 600 years

•How the Magi, as astronomers, were uniquely positioned to recognize the sign God placed in the sky

•How the star appeared and reappeared at just the right moments, guiding them directly to Jesus

•How Jesus Himself is our true Star—guiding us, surrounding us, and shining light that drives out darkness


This message invites us to ask an honest question: are we willing to follow the light God gives us, wherever it leads? When we fix our eyes on Jesus, the Light of the world, He leads us into truth, hope, and salvation.
