20th century artist Peter Koenig and the title is “Peter and Andrew”

 

 

Join us this Sunday, January 25, 2026, the 3rd Sunday after Epiphany at 10:00 a.m. in person or on Zoom.

We now find ourselves in the Gospel of Matthew 4:12-23 with a familiar story about the beginnings of Jesus’s ministry.  John has been arrested (for saying something about Herod messing with his brother’s wife) and so Jesus returns to Galilee to pick up where John has left off.  He almost immediately calls Peter and Andrew to leave their occupation catching fish and join him in fishing for human souls.   It appears from this text that to be a disciple means going all in for a ministry to the least and the lost.  Apparently, we don't get to choose who is worthy of Jesus' attention, of receiving the Messiah's light, we just tell everybody we encounter about Jesus just like John did.  (How is that Jesus' elevator speech coming along?)  Hope to see you on Sunday.
