Established and Shaped by Christ – Christ Centered | Epiphany Week 1

Welcome to worship at Beautiful Savior Lutheran Church in SeaTac, Washington. This sermon audio comes from our January 4, 2026 Epiphany service as we begin a new series, Established and Shaped by Christ.

In this first week, we reflect on what it means for Christ to be the center of all we are and all we do as God’s people. Our life together as the Church does not begin with our efforts or plans, but with Jesus Christ Himself—the One through whom all things were made and by whom all things are held together.

Drawing from Colossians 1: 15–23, we hear of Christ’s authority, mercy, and reconciling work for the whole world. In John 15: 1–11, Jesus invites us to abide in Him, promising true life, joy, and fruitfulness rooted in His grace. As an Epiphany celebration, this service proclaims Christ revealed not only as Savior, but as the One who continues to establish, shape, and sustain His people.

Whether you are part of our congregation or listening for the first time, you are invited to rest in the promise that our identity, hope, and mission are found in Christ alone.
