Following the Star

Jan 4, 2026    The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill

The Christmas story does not end at the manger. In this sermon, we revisit the story of the Magi and ask what it means to follow the light of Christ after Christmas has passed. The wise men were seekers, scholars, and outsiders who recognized something worth pursuing and were changed by the journey. When they encountered Jesus, they did not return home the same way they came.

This sermon invites us to consider which stars we are following, what roads we are walking, and whether Christ is calling us onto a new path in the year ahead.
