As the star led the Wise Men to the baby Jesus and just as sailors needed the stars to navigate to find direction and guidance, our star reminds us that we depend on God's Holy Word to find direction and guidance for daily living.
Sailing ships depend on a crew working together and using their various talents.
In the same way, the church is an accumulation of gifts and talents from God evident in the activity of its members. A working knowledge of the sea is called seamanship. It is also the art of managing a ship. In managing all that God gives to His people, we need to have an understanding of the vision, plan, and organization God gives to our lives and to the church. This allows us to be confident of our destination and to stay the course as stewards of our personal and corporate Steward Ship.
