Come and See
We live in a world of hyper-confidence and private confusion.
Certainty without presence.
Answers without relationship.
And Jesus?
He offers neither a test nor a manifesto. Just three words: Come and see.
A sermon for the tired, the curious, and the quietly faithful.

Before You Do Anything
Before Jesus heals anyone. Before He preaches. Before He does anything – a voice speaks.
“This is My beloved Son.” Not will be, not once He proves it, but with whom I am well pleased.
In a world obsessed with performance, metrics, and self-definition, baptism interrupts the noise with a gift we didn’t earn.
Identity comes before obedience.
Belonging comes before improvement.
This Sunday we’ll talk about why that order matters more than we think – and why trying to baptize ourselves is exhausting. Following Jesus – discipleship – doesn’t begin with what you do…it begins with who God says you are.

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.
👉 Come worship with us in person: 9:00 THIS Sunday. Usual schedule 9:00 & 11:15 on Sundays.
