Wisdom Grows in Hidden Places
Christmas is over, the noise has faded, and January is staring back at us with a quiet, unsettling question: now what?
Our culture rushes answers, but the Church hands us a surprising image – a twelve-year-old Jesus, not performing miracles, but sitting, listening, and asking questions. Wisdom, Scripture insists, is not downloaded overnight; it grows slowly, even in the life of the Son of God.
Solomon asks not for success, but for a listening heart – and God delights in that kind of prayer. Luke reminds us that growth often happens in Nazareth, not on the big stage, and that obscurity is not the same as absence.
Paul pushes the point even further: you were chosen in Christ before anything you achieved.
If you’re living with questions right now, this sermon is a word of grace – you already belong, and now you get to grow.

Carried Before We Could Walk
Epiphany is the season when God reveals – not demands. In these weeks, Scripture keeps pressing the same surprising truth: before we act, before we decide, before we improve or understand or commit – God has already spoken a word over us. Jesus is named Son before He preaches. Disciples are called before they believe correctly. The Church is declared light before it knows how to shine. In a world that tells us to define ourselves, curate ourselves, and prove ourselves, Epiphany teaches us to live from an identity we did not choose – but were given. This is not passive faith. It is deep discipleship: learning to walk, think, and serve from grace already received. We are named. We are called. And only then…we are sent.

We’ll also sing eight wonderful songs which connect to the readings. Experience the promises and fulfillment of God with us. He’s come to give us real hope, peace, joy, love and most importantly, Himself!
👉 Watch online and discover the priceless value of the present of His presence!

The Gift Works
Why is Jesus the greatest gift? Discover the priceless value of the present of His presence!
God is the one for whom and through whom everything exists. Therefore, while God was bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was the right time to bring Jesus, the source of their salvation, to the end of his work through suffering.
Jesus, who makes people holy, and all those who are made holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus isn’t ashamed to call them brothers and sisters. He says, “I will tell my people about your name. I will praise you within the congregation.” In addition, Jesus says, “I will trust him.” And Jesus says, “I am here with the sons and daughters God has given me.”
Since all of these sons and daughters have flesh and blood, Jesus took on flesh and blood to be like them. He did this so that by dying he would destroy the one who had power over death (that is, the devil). In this way he would free those who were slaves all their lives because they were afraid of dying. So Jesus helps Abraham’s descendants rather than helping angels.
Therefore, he had to become like his brothers and sisters so that he could be merciful. He became like them so that he could serve as a faithful chief priest in God’s presence and make peace with God for their sins. Because Jesus experienced temptation when he suffered, he is able to help others when they are tempted. Hebrews 2:10-18 (GW)
