Read OnlineJesus came to Capernaum with his followers, and on the sabbath he entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. Mark 1:21–22Imagine attending a book study for a profound and challenging book. The group leader has read it thoroughly and consulted reviews; he shares various interpretations, offering valuable insights. You leave with a deeper understanding and gratitude for the leader's guidance. Now imagine years later you attend another study on the same book, but this time the author leads it. The author alone can speak with absolute authority—explaining the backstory, the intent behind the words, and the true meaning of the text. Nothing compares to hearing from the one who wrote the book.Jesus, as the eternal Son of God, is not just a teacher of Truth, but is its Co-Author, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit. From the beginning of time, God's Truth—His Eternal Word—has been gradually revealed through creation, the covenants, the Law, and the prophets. Yet only the Word Made Flesh could reveal Himself fully.When Jesus entered the synagogue in Capernaum, His teaching astonished the people. The scribes, though learned and revered, taught by relying on the traditions of their ancestors and the interpretations of others. Jesus, however, spoke with divine authority. His words were not secondhand interpretations but the living, authoritative proclamation of Truth. Those who were open to faith recognized something far greater than human wisdom; they encountered the very voice of God.The people's astonishment reveals the transformative nature of the Word of God. Jesus did not merely interpret the Scriptures for the people; He fulfilled them and identified Himself with them. As the Author of all Truth, His words—and His very Person—carried the power to liberate and transform. This power was immediately demonstrated when He cast out the unclean spirit in the verses that follow, revealing that His word does not simply teach—it acts, healing and restoring those in bondage.The question of Truth remains as relevant today as it was when Jesus walked the earth. In a world flooded with opinions, interpretations, and ideologies, only one thing ultimately matters: that which God speaks. We desperately need Christ's authoritative voice in our lives today. We need Him to cut through the confusion caused by our fallen and disordered human nature and the countless erroneous ideologies that permeate our world. Reflect today on whether you recognize the Voice of God. Are you familiar with His definitive and authoritative Word that sheds light on your life and the world around you? Do you allow yourself to be regularly astounded by God's revelation? As we begin Ordinary Time, we enter a season during which we must hear and internalize Jesus' many authoritative teachings during His public ministry. When properly encountered, His Word is alive and transformative. Place yourself in the synagogue in Capernaum as Jesus begins to reveal the Truth established from the foundation of the world. Allow that Truth to affect you, change you, and set you on the path that leads to eternal glory. Eternal Word of God, You are the Author and Revealer of all Truth. Speak to me with Your divine authority, and illuminate the many errors that afflict my heart and the world around me. With the power of Your Word, cut through the darkness, dispel confusion, and shine Your radiant light of Truth upon my path. Guide me to walk in Your ways, free from all deception, and lead me to the fullness of life.

In this message, Pastor Josh opens The Beloved Gospel with the prologue of John's Gospel—John 1:1–18—inviting us to behold who Jesus is before we consider what He did.John doesn't begin with a manger, a miracle, or a mission trip. He begins with eternity. Jesus is introduced as the Word (Logos)—God's full self-expression—through whom all things were made. Drawing from the rich Jewish and Greek background of the word Logos, this message explores how John presents Jesus as fully God and fully human, the Word made flesh, who stepped into our darkness to give light and life. This is Genesis revisited—a new beginning where God moves toward humanity, not with distance or demands, but with grace and truth embodied in Jesus.Whether you're new to faith or have followed Jesus for years, this message calls us back to the heart of the gospel:The gospel doesn't start with what Christ did, but who He is—and our response isn't rooted in what we do, but whose we are.

The first installment of our study, entitled Christ the Word Made Flesh, will grow from the Gospel of John. In its opening verses, we will encounter the mystery of the Word who existed from all eternity and yet comes to dwell among us in Christ. We will reflect on the scripture's cosmic and deeply personal dimensions, as it holds together God's eternal purpose and God's nearness to human life. Sermon on John 1:1-5, 14-18, delivered by the Reverend David J. Powers on January 11th, 2026.

The Word made flesh. On this second Sunday of Christmastide, Rev. Robert Brown shared from the prologue to John's Gospel, one of the most magisterial and theologically rich passages in all the New Testament. These carefully crafted words are often the first that new Christians read in the Bible. John uses "simple," familiar words-- words that new Christians can be nourished by. Yet they are words that even many lifetimes of study and meditation could not possibly plumb the depths of. Woven into its tapestry are some of the most intricate designs and vibrant colors one could possibly imagine: teaching about the very being of the triune God; creation and new creation; the Light of the world shining in the darkness;  the Gospel's purpose; the Incarnation of the divine Word; the Word made flesh, God dwelling with his people, the sacred tabernacle--the nexus between heaven and earth--embodied in Jesus, the God-man. This sermon is a quick guided tour beneath the surface of some of those familiar words, phrases, and concepts in an attempt to whet our appetites for a rich feast of meditative contemplation and--by the power of the Spirit--consideration of the written incarnate Word in our own lives. Note: The artwork associated  with this podcast (viewable on the Epiclesis website but not through Apple iTunes) is titled "The Word Made Flesh" by Donald Jackson.

Join us as we dig deeper into last Sunday's sermon from Pastor Chris Troxel "The Word Made Flesh".   Digging Deeper Questions: The sermon says that "existence requires experience." Where do you notice the difference between simply knowing about God and experiencing the life and light of Christ in your own story? John says, "The Word became flesh and dwelt among us." What does it mean for you to trust that God has truly entered human life—not from a distance, but from the inside—and how does that shape the way you bring your struggles to Him? The sermon claims that "the Word made flesh makes a way for you." Where in your life right now do you most need to hear that God has made a way—into light, connection, or love? From Christ's fullness we receive "grace upon grace." How might living from that abundance (rather than scarcity or fear) change the way you relate to others this week—especially those who feel distant, difficult, or overlooked?   Intro/Outro Song: "Only One" Nate Zuellig ULC Artist In Residence

The Word “wonder” means “rapt attention or astonishment at something awesomely mysterious.” This kind of awe is the only appropriate response to the incarnation—the most wonderful miracle of all.

In this final episode, David Wollen reflects on Luke 2 and the twelve-year-old Jesus in the Temple, showing why the incarnation—Christ fully God and fully man—is essential to our salvation and hope.

Have you ever had the experience of getting together with a dear friend or family member after a long period of absence and wanted to just soak up every moment with them, savoring their presence with you? Have you ever realized, after perhaps hours of sitting and visiting with them, that you've lost all track of time because you have been so completely “with” them? The first chapter of the Gospel of John begins with beautifully poetic imagery which helps us to understand Jesus as Creator, eternal Son of God, Life and Light, and, in this verse, Emmanuel, God with us! Dive in to this special Christmas episode as we pause to consider the miracle of God with us!Read John 1:14Questions from today's episode:  What does “God with us” mean to you today? How do you need to experience his “with-ness” in your life right now? Have you ever stopped to marvel at the fact that the Creator of the universe stepped into humanity and became one of us in order to help us know Him, to see God's love for us, and to enact the most amazing redemption plan? Take some time now to linger in awe and wonder at God's great love for us!A great listen:
