Journey to Bethlehem | Follow the Bread Crumbs | Josh Laxton (Sermon)

How do people actually find their way to Jesus? They follow the bread crumbs. In this Advent message, Pastor Josh walks through Matthew 2 and the story of the Magi to show how God leaves intentional, gracious clues that lead hungry hearts to the true Bread of Life. Bethlehem isn’t just a place—it’s ultimately a Person, and the journey requires trust, humility, and worship. 🍞 Three bread crumbs God uses to lead us to Jesus: 1️⃣ People who showed you the Bread — like Daniel’s legacy in exile, faithful lives point others toward Christ (Daniel 1–7; 2 Corinthians 3:2–3). 2️⃣ A track record of fulfilled promises — God’s past faithfulness builds confidence in His future promises (Daniel 7; Daniel 9; Micah 5:2). 3️⃣ A hunger for true Bread — recognizing our need leads us to worship, surrender, and joy (Matthew 2:9–11). The Magi didn’t just observe the signs—they followed them, worshiped Jesus, and offered their lives. What you worship reveals where you’ve arrived to get your Bread. 📖 Scriptures: Matthew 2:1–11; Daniel 7; Daniel 9; Micah 5:2; Numbers 24:17 🗓️ Advent Week | Preached at Northland Church 🎄 Series: Journey to Bethlehem 🙌 Like • 🔔 Subscribe • 💬 What bread crumbs has God used to lead you closer to Jesus? 🏷️ Hashtags #journeytobethlehem #followthebreadcrumbs #advent2025 #northlandchurch #matthew2 #magi #breadoflife #christmashope #faithjourney #worshipjesus
