Get Right With God? by John Morris
The First Sunday in Lent

In this sermon, I want to contrast that language with the language of one of the readings this morning, which talks about sacrifice and justification.

The Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany
February 1, 2026
I’d like the children and youth to take their piece of paper and write this word on the top:
Epiphany
Now go halfway down the page and write this word:
Manifest
Do any of you kids know what “epiphany” means? If you do, raise your hand.
Do you know what “manifest” means? If you do, raise your hand.
