Wednesday January 21, 2026II Week After EpiphanyGrowing Forward in Faith and TruthToday’s readings challenge us to consider how we respond to both blessing and responsibility. In Genesis 9:18–29, we see the brokenness that still lingers even after a new beginning, reminding us that transformation is a journey and character matters in how we treat one another. Hebrews 6:1–12 urges believers to move beyond spiritual infancy, pressing on toward maturity with diligence, perseverance, and hope anchored in God’s promises. And in John 3:22–36, John the Baptist models humility and clarity, declaring, *“He must increase, but I must decrease,” pointing us again to Jesus as the One who speaks the words of God and brings eternal life.This episode invites us to grow forward in faith—leaving behind complacency, embracing maturity, and joyfully aligning our lives so that Christ is exalted above all else.
