The Season After Epiphany Worship Series:
A New Year of Spiritual Resolutions
A happy new year and blessed Epiphany to each of you. I hope these past couple of weeks have revealed the joy of Christmas to each of you. As I shared on Sunday, we have embarked on a new worship series all about resolutions/goals/intentions/(insert your word of choice) to help us grow closer to Jesus. In this first newsletter of the year, I’m providing you with upcoming Scriptures and sermon titles in the hope you will read those passages ahead of time in preparation for what the Spirit might teach us together. I’m also including a verse of poetry/song from the Bible for you to meditate upon or to sing. I look forward to growing with you as part of the wonderful body of Christ in this season of light!
January 10 “Climbing Trees” Psalm 29
January 17 “Seeing the World” John 1:43-51
January 24 “Leaving Our Boats Behind” Mark 1:14-20
January 31 “Celebrating What God Has Done” Psalm 111
February 7 “Preaching the Gospel” 1 Corinthians 9:16-18
In honor of the Epiphany this week, let us sit with the prophet Isaiah. Take a moment to pause at the end of each line and re-read the line, letting its truth sink into your soul. Try adding your own melody to it and sing to the Lord, too.
Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. ~ Isaiah 60:5
all good things to each of you,
Dr. Darian
