Who doesn’t love a wedding party. Even Jesus does, as our gospel tells us today. So much that he keeps it going when it’s in danger of dying out. But some parties are about more than just having a good time. And a Jesus party has good news that keeps flowing even after the last guest has left. And we’re all invited today!

Today’s worship service will be live-streamed on our YouTube channel at 10:30 am. Join us live, or watch the video here at a later time.

This Sunday we celebrate the Baptism of our Lord. Which means it’s that wonderful Sunday again where we get to affirm our baptisms and make a trip up to the font to be splashed with God’s water of grace. And amidst all that celebrating we’ll hear perhaps the strangest version of Jesus’ baptism we have, from the gospel of Luke. Never a dull moment in the vineyard of the Lord!

It’s the Twelfth Day of Christmas, the Second Sunday of Christmas, and the Eve of the Feast of Epiphany, or in some cultures, “Three Kings Day”. So many numbers! But lots to celebrate. And so we finally give the magi their due as we read the story of their visit to the Christ-child, and their uncomfortably close encounter with the bad guy of Christmas, King Herod.

Continuing on our theme of celebrating the miracle of Christmas with music we worship today with our Service of Favourite Christmas Carols by request. So what is it that makes a Christmas Carol a favourite? The melody for sure. Perhaps a memory associated with the carol. Maybe the unique way the lyrics proclaim the Christmas Gospel. Whatever it is, we bask in the joy of these seasonal treasures today and continue to marvel of the grace of God made flesh.

Nothing makes the season shine brighter than music. Whether that’s the profundity of a Bach cantata, the comfort of a Christmas carol, or the melodious strains of a seasonal song. Not that all Christmas music is great however. And maybe some can even be dangerous. Today the prophetic voices of John the Baptist and Malachi can help us understand why.

Advent, you might say, is the church’s “Head’s Up!” to all Christians. An exhortation to stay alert to the promise of Christ’s second coming, to prepare for the celebration of Jesus’s nativity, and to be on guard against all that would dull our senses to the evidence of God’s kingdom coming near always in the here and now. No wonder then that on this First Sunday of Advent we hear Jesus tell us to “stand up and raise your heads.” So where do you see signs of God’s presence in the midst of the murkiness of our world?

Christ the King Sunday is the last Sunday of the church year. It’s also the newest festival on the liturgical calendar. And it speaks to one of the oldest quandaries of the human heart: how to make sense of a world gone crazy. But what it says is higher and deeper than any human wisdom. As a dazed and confused Pontius Pilate discovers in our gospel today.
