the Season of Epiphany| 2026
the Season of Epiphany
Epiphany is not the season of having everything figured out. It is the season of noticing light — light that appears quietly, after long nights, light that meets us where we are and does not ask us to hurry. This year, we trust that still, the light finds us. And having been found, we practice following: not with certainty, but with attention; not with perfection, but with courage. Epiphany invites us to walk together by the light we have, trusting that God reveals enough for the next step, and that grace keeps pace with us as we go.
Week 1 – Epiphany / The Magi (Matthew 2:1–12)
Light noticed, not possessed
The light appears beyond the boundaries of familiarity. Seekers follow without certainty, adapt when the path changes, and discover that revelation often requires risk, humility, and movement.
Week 2 — Baptism of Jesus (Matthew 3:13-17)
Light named before the journey begins
Belovedness is spoken before achievement or understanding. We follow not to earn God’s love, but because it has already been declared over us.
Week 3 — Call of the First Disciples (John 1:35–42)
Light invites relationship
“Come and see.” Discipleship begins not with answers, but with curiosity, encounter, and the courage to take a first step into the unknown.
Week 4 —Beatitudes (Matthew 5:1–12)
Light redefines blessing
Jesus names blessing in unexpected places — among the poor, the grieving, the gentle. Epiphany reveals a light that meets us not at the finish line, but in the midst of becoming.
Week 5 — Jesus in Nazareth (Matthew 5:13–20)
Salt and light
The light that finds us is meant to be lived. In ordinary faithfulness, small acts of love, and lives shaped by grace, God’s light becomes visible in the world.
Week 6 – Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-9)
Light reshapes how we live
The blessed life is re-imagined. Following the light leads us toward humility, mercy, courage, and a deeper, counter-cultural understanding of flourishing.
