A Roller Coaster, A Roundabout, and A Road Trip

Screaming on a roller coaster, dizzy in a roundabout, lost on a road trip - does that sound familiar? Many of us live our lives as if we are on a wild ride all the time making the peace we so desire impossible to find. This problem isn't new! It's the same struggle three sets of characters faced in the ancient story of the Magi. As you take a fresh look at this very familiar story, you'll find that you are not like any one character all the time, but you are like all of them sometimes. And you'll discover that this story is about so much more than Christmas - it's the story of a road trip, leading to real worship. About people who, much like us, lean too far into the culture around them, letting the world get in the way of what they really need to see. This is the story of people who ended up on a life-changing journey to Jesus.
