Close to Home
When something hits close to home, it profoundly affects us. During Advent and Christmas, we explore scriptures that reflect our longing for God to draw near. The "Close to Home" theme captures the tension of our faith—Emmanuel is with us, yet God's promised day is not fully realized. May we find comfort in God's presence, create a sanctuary for those far from home, and embrace joy, hope, and courage this season.
January 5 – Home By Another Way
Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
On Epiphany Sunday, we reflect on the journey of the Wise Men, who, after encountering Jesus, chose to return “by another way” (Matthew 2:1-12). This sermon in our “Close to Home” series explores how meeting Christ leads us to a new direction—away from the world’s temptations and toward a life of transformation, obedience, and deeper faith. Following Jesus often means changing course and going home by a different way.
