Joining the Battle: An Epiphany Call to Action

On this Sunday, Pastor Rick explored Mark 1 and what it means to experience an "epiphany" through the lens of Jesus' baptism. He drew numerous connections between John the Baptist's wilderness ministry and symbolism throughout the Old Testament to paint a picture of John preparing the way and calling people to repentance and renewal.

Along the way, we were challenged to see that the Season of Epiphany calls us not to observe from the sidelines but to "join the battle" actively against sin, drawing spiritual battle lines as subjects of God's kingdom.
