Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Dunford Cole

As we embark on this new journey filled with hope and anticipation, let us remember the importance of keeping Christ at the center of our lives, particularly on Sundays. This week, our church will honor Epiphany Sunday, reflecting on the journey of the wise men who sought the Christ Child. 

They set out unaware of the challenges they would face, yet they pressed on with determination. Life can throw us curveballs and present difficulties, but we are called to emulate the faith of these wise men. 

We must keep our trust in God and persist in our journey. In Matthew 28, we are reminded that we are not meant to become stagnant; we are commanded to “go.” This year, let’s commit ourselves to seeking Christ daily, embracing the adventures and trials that come our way, and moving forward with purpose and faith.

Rev. Dunford Cole is pastor of Camp Ground/Rutledge Methodist Church and Presiding Elder of Six Rivers and Midpoint District.
