Epiphany 2026
This week Pastor Matt teaches that the Epiphany story shows God graciously and intentionally revealing Jesus to all people, including outsiders like the Magi, demonstrating that Christ came for the nations and not just covenant insiders. It contrasts three responses to Jesus’ revelation: Herod’s fearful grasp for control, the religious leaders’ passive knowledge without seeking, and the Magi’s joyful, humble worship marked by surrender and sacrifice. Ultimately, it calls listeners to respond like the Magi—seeking Jesus with trust, worship, and openness to transformation, knowing that God meets us where we are but does not leave us unchanged.
