On the Road to Radiance
Today we are on the road to Radiance. We are celebrating Epiphany, a day when God is revealed as the baby Jesus to the visiting Magi. Even as the beloved story of the magi is a story full of both fear and joy, so our lives as believers, as followers of Christ, are also full of joy and fear. To be a Christian is to be someone who is on the road toward Jesus. There is fear at the unknowns and the perils of the journey; there is joy with the search as we journey towards the destination God is leading us toward. To be a Christian is to have lives that are characterized by fear and by joy, normal emotions that are part of what it means to follow the radiant star.

On the Road to Rejoicing
This is the first Sunday after Christmas, and we are continuing on our spiritual road. Today we are on the road to rejoicing. Two old people, Anna and Simeon, both saw salvation in a baby because they immersed themselves in the biblical story and interpreted the story correctly.

Just a heads up that as you watch the video you will notice that several parts include the audio and only a photo of 4 Advent candles. For some unknown reason the video files were corrupted.
On behalf of the folks at First Mennonite Church, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!
