Today we have the joy of celebrating the baptism of baby Julian! We’ll ponder Jesus’ invitation to discipleship, “come and see,” reflecting on what that means for Julian’s life as well as for each of our own.
Today Rev. Dan Meyer-Abbott brings us a message about Biblical understanding. The “Sitz im Leben” (“Situation in Life”)* in which a Biblical passage was written can help us understand its meaning. Rev. Dan takes us through examples from Paul’s teachings and reflects on how they are being misinterpreted and misapplied today, in our own Sitz im Leben.
Today we have Adam Marshall bringing us the message as we examine the classic text for Epiphany: the journey and arrival of the Magi. His first-person narrative as one of the Magi provides an insider’s view of what their journey and visit may have been like, and how they encountered, then avoided, the unpredictable Herod. We consider how the Magi journeyed through and in spite of fear. How do we, as people of faith, respond when our fears are real and justified?
