[Sunday] Baptism Of Our Lord
God is pleased, not because the Jordan River is great (it's not); not because Jesus is from an important town (He is from the sticks); not because Jesus has done anything great yet. God is pleased because the creation is being made new, not with greatness or power, but in grace.

What Had happened at Grace this week.
This week, our study of Amos 6-8 revealed God's unwavering standard of justice, showing how complacency, social injustice, and the rejection of His word lead to inescapable judgment, symbolized by a plumb line and a basket of summer fruit.
The Creed reveals the Church’s heartbeat is the forgiveness of sins, a gift which replaces our darkness with God's light and leads us to the ultimate feast of the resurrection.
During our February 11, 2026, study, we explored Amos chapters 3-5, where God challenges Israel's hypocrisy, condemning their social injustice and empty religious rituals while calling them to let justice and righteousness flow like a mighty stream.
The Triumphal Entry shows us the difference. We chase the 'wins' of this world; Jesus rides into the darkness of this world. We look for success; He brings the Light that saves.
