Sermon for Epiphany (Observed), January 7, AD 2026
Jan 7, 2026 • Rev. Christopher Antonetti
The gifts of the wise men were just the first payment – tribute to a king who could not repay them back in gold or silver. But he pays with his own precious blood. He purchases and redeems us for His kingdom, and people from all over the world, in a way we never could.
The Lord’s kingdom shall expand through the church and the preaching of the gospel to be the greatest in the world. Not in worldly riches, but wealth in souls and in good deeds. What Christ can accomplish as king is beyond any king in the world in extent or endurance. Store up treasures in heaven for this kingdom.
