Reset

God's claim upon us resets and reframes who we are, whose we are, and how we show up in the world. May we all thus experience what it is to be, not almost only; but altogether Christians; being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Jesus; knowing we have peace with God through Jesus Christ; rejoicing in hope of the glory of God; and having the love of God shed abroad in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost given unto us!-John Wesley, "The Almost Christian" Preaching to St. Mary's Church in Oxford—a place of deep affection and spiritual significance— Wesley calls out those who display only a form of godliness, an almost Christian. He insists that the altogether Christian life must involve more than mere belief in God or good actions. Rather, the movement from almost to altogether is a work of the heart made possible only through unmitigated trust in Jesus. In short, faith in Jesus resets everything. In the light of Epiphany, we encounter the claim of Christ upon our lives. God's grace doesn't merely improve us; it resets us—rewriting our identity, reclaiming our belonging, and reframing our daily witness. This series is an invitation into the journey of grace-from appearance to authenticity, from habit to holiness, from passive religion to passionate discipleship. Focusing on the epistle readings through the season, this series reflects a movement toward this full-hearted faith, resetting our identity, unity, wisdom, understanding, growth, foundation, and vision. This season is an opportunity to reset—not just our habits, but our hearts. As we dwell in the light of Christ’s Epiphany, we hear anew the invitation not to settle for being almost, but to altogether live as people reset by grace.
