Dreams Stars and Happenstance

January 4, 2026 — Epiphany Sunday
Rev. Alice Horner Nelson (she/her)

This sermon examines the intriguing call of these Zoroastrian priests from Persia to notice a heavenly messenger in the sky announcing the birth of a new King, and to travel far to meet him. Pastor Alice examines the relationship between Christianity and magic. How does this scripture speak to how things outside our tradition may speak to us and point us to God?

Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12, 16-18
