We all follow someone. Either on Facebook, in the news, maybe your favorite motivational speaker, podcast, or musician. Even as Christians, we tend to follow a particular theology. So, who are you following these days? Today, we are going to see why it is so important to know who you are following. If you remember, the last few weeks, we have been talking about those people looking for Jesus. The Magi, Herod, Simeon and others all knew […]

As we continue looking at Epiphany, I am reminded of that old saying, “Wise men still seek Him.” Last week, we discovered the story of Simeon, an old man, who found Christ in a baby at the Temple.
