Welcome
“The Church is not a group of people who believe all the same things; the Church is a group of people caught up in the same story, with Jesus at the center."

Epiphany 2026 Series: Alive in the Light
Feb 1, 2026 - 4th Sunday After Epiphany: Blessed, in the Light
Texts: Matthew 5:1-12, Psalm 15
As our Epiphany journey Alive in the Light continues, this week we turn to Jesus’ Beatitudes—not as gentle sayings or private comforts, but as a defiant re-visioning of where God’s grace is truly found. Having explored how we are alive in the light, named by it, drawn toward it, and called forward by it, this message asks how we learn to see by that light in a world shaped by fear, power, and exclusion.
Applying Jesus’ words to our own moment—including what has been unfolding in places like Minneapolis—the sermon slows us down and looks again at who Jesus calls “blessed.” Not the powerful or protected, but those made vulnerable by forces far larger than themselves. In naming who is held close to God’s reign, the Beatitudes confront false ideas of success and blessing—and invite us into a faith shaped by presence, solidarity, and courageous truth-telling.
If you would like to view a past service online, they are all archived here.
