Feast of Epiphany 2026 | Worthy of Everything

In this Epiphany message, we reflect on the visit of the Magi and the revelation of Jesus not just to Israel—but to the world. Known in the East as Theophany, Epiphany reveals Christ as fully human and fully divine, the manifested Son of God.

From Matthew 2:1–12, we see that the Magi did something once that we are invited into daily: they turned their attention toward Jesus and gave Him their worship. Long before they bowed physically, they had already bowed in their hearts. They were convinced that this King was worthy of their time, travel, treasures, and hearts.

This sermon challenges us to examine what we truly believe Jesus is worth. Is He worthy of our first moments in the morning? Worth the gathering with God’s people on random nights during the week? Worth trusting Him with our finances, comforts, and control? As we begin a corporate 21-Day Fast, we’re reminded that fasting isn’t about impressing God or getting things from Him—it’s about re-aligning our lives around Him.

Rooted in Proverbs 4:23 and Psalms 37:5, this message leads us to an altar-call moment of surrender—yielding our world to God rather than trying to bring God into ours.

Prayer is not us inviting God into our plans. Prayer is yielding our plans to God.

The question Epiphany leaves us with is simple—but searching: Are you convinced that Jesus is worthy of your everything?

🎧 Listen, reflect, and allow the Spirit to redirect your heart.

Over time I gravitated to the original teachings of the Buddha, embodied in the Theravadan tradition, for their down-to-earth clarity, and important sources for me have included the teachers of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and the Pali Canon itself. More recently, I've explored grounding the dharma in modern evolutionary neuropsychology - "neurodharma" - recognizing how mind arises dependently upon the body, especially the nervous system as it tries to meet ancient needs for raw survival. I am especially interested in using these approaches to heighten the learning - the cultivation (bhavana) - from beneficial experiences (otherwise often wasted on the brain) to reduce the underlying sense of deficit and disturbance that causes the craving that causes suffering and harm. Overall, I feel amazingly blessed to have the opportu True North Podcast with Chris Quiring Chris Quiring Finding truth in a culture of confusion.
