As we continue in Epiphany this week, we’ll see Jesus reveal more of himself to his followers through the sign he performs at the wedding in Cana in John 2:1-11. Throughout the gospels we see that Jesus enjoyed a party and this wedding was no exception, and while there was the joy you’d expect at a wedding, Jesus brought even greater joy through revealing more of who he is.

This week we are starting a new preaching series that will carry us through winter and spring. We will follow the life of Jesus in two parts, shaped by the rhythm of the liturgical calendar. The series is titled “Revealed & Given,” reflecting the dual movements of Epiphany and Lent — seasons that together draw us more deeply into the mystery of Christ. This Sunday we'll be in Matthew 3:13-17 where Jesus is Revealed as the Beloved Son. In place of preparation notes this week, I encourage you to spend time meditating on those verses ahead of Sunday's service.

This Sunday in our study of Deuteronomy we will hear the Shema, Israel’s central confession: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength” (Deut. 6:4–5). At the very center of faith is love—love for God that overflows in love for neighbor. In an age discipled by violence and contempt, Deuteronomy reminds us that God’s people are called to be shaped by love, embodying a different way of being human together.
