EPIPHANY,
2021

The First Sunday after the Epiphany & The Baptism of Our Lord (January 10)
Jesus is today with John at the Jordan River.  Why is He who had no sin with sinners who have gathered together for forgiveness?  Why is what was done there in Jesus' baptism meaningful for us and our baptism into Him?
The Second Sunday after the Epiphany of our Lord (January 17, 2021)
​
The calling of Nathanael by Jesus teaches us more than our Savior's judgement of character.  In it we find the omniscience (all-knowingness) of God Himself embodied in the God/man from Nazareth.  Jesus knows you intimately and uniquely and close communionly. ​
The Third Sunday after the Epiphany of our Lord (January 24, 2021)
Jesus often uses the natural world of creation to draw us to think of heavenly things.  He does so today in calling the disciples from being fishermen to becoming fishers of men. ​
​The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany of our Lord (January 31, 2021)
​
Do you have any limits to your freedom as a Christian?  Should you self-impose limits in love for those who may need encouragement rather than discouragement from your actions?  As sanctified Christians, we can choose to be puffed up with pride in what we know and can do, or we can consider others and ways to build up their faith.
​The Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany of our Lord (February 7, 2021)
As football players train for the Super bowl, athletes have always conditioned themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally for contests and prizes.  The ancient Isthmian Games of Corinth were like the Olympics in that they included chariot races, wrestling, boxing, music and poetry competitions, and something like MMA competition.  St. Paul would have Christians be in training for the trials and tribulations of this life, that no one may seize the crown reserved for us by Christ and His death and resurrection.
The Transfiguration of our Lord  (Feb. 14, 2021)
The Transfiguration of Jesus is a brief glimpse into the glory He possesses but cloaked for a while in the state of humility.  Transfiguration Sunday marks Jesus' transition from popularity in public ministry of teaching and healing to the unpopular news of the death of the Christ so that there might be the resurrection of the Christ. ​
