Preacher's Pondering 

Our texts for this Sunday, January 18, 2026
Isaiah 49:1-7
John 1:29-42

This week's texts invite us to ponder a few things....
Both Isaiah and John open up a conversation for us to explore what it means to be a disciple of God.
  • Isaiah's message closely resembles last week's servant song from Isaiah 42. Now, we are invited to wonder what it means for God to call a servant. How do you see God continuing to call God's people to service and descipleship?
  • John's Gospel highlights another angle of the baptism of Jesus through the witness of John the Baptist.... only this time we don't actually get to witness the baptism event, rather we get the testimony of John the Baptist. What does it mean to testify to the Lord? What testimony of Jesus Christ do you think people need to hear today?
 
Bring these thoughts with this Sunday. And feel free to email me with your thoughts (or questions) as well at [email protected]. I’d love to hear from you!
Peace,  Pastor Nadia
