Which christian leaders spoke on Jan 5 and what did they say

1. What the sources actually cover: worship guides and program notices

Several documents in the set are liturgical resources and orders of worship prepared for the Sunday/feast day of January 5, 2025. The Center for Faith and Giving and The Presbyterian Outlook published thematic worship resources and commentary tied to the lectionary readings for Jan. 5 (Epiphany/Second Sunday after Christmas), outlining scriptural passages (John 1 or Matthew 2) and suggested sermon themes such as “testifying to and following the light” and generosity prompted by being “claimed and named by God” ^{[1] [2]}. Those pieces are planning tools rather than news reports of who actually preached at particular congregations that date ^{[1] [2]}.

2. Named leaders in the available items — limited examples

A few sources single out individual faith leaders in connection with Jan. 5 programming. Sister Ann Casper, SP, is profiled in a Jan. 5 Epiphany post from Saint Mary‑of‑the‑Woods, with descriptors like “Leader, teacher, immigrant, healer,” but the link is a profile/announcement rather than a dated sermon transcript ^[4]. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints material notes that a prerecorded worldwide youth discussion tied to the Jan. 5, 2025 schedule was presented by “two leaders” who introduced the 2025 youth theme and logistics for local leaders; the item describes what those leaders asked local leaders to do (prepare youth, study passages, stream the 25‑minute broadcast) but does not name both presenters or print their full remarks in the excerpt provided ^{[3] [5]}.

3. What these leaders emphasized — themes, not full quotes

Where remarks are summarized, they focus on pastoral and programmatic themes rather than political commentary. The Presbyterian Outlook lectionary notes urge preaching on following the light (the Magi, Epiphany) and raise pastoral questions about power, leadership, and healthy church organization when reflecting on Matthew and John texts ^[2]. The Center for Faith and Giving’s Jan. 5 resource frames the day as a call to gratitude and generosity because of God’s gifts—Jesus, the Spirit, and adoption as God’s children ^[1]. The LDS notices instruct leaders to prepare youth for a worldwide discussion around the theme “Look unto Christ,” recommending study of Doctrine and Covenants 6:36 and listening to the theme song ^{[3] [5]}.

4. What you should not infer from the materials

The supplied items are not event roundups or comprehensive press coverage of speeches delivered on Jan. 5 across congregations or media. They do not list every pastor or megachurch leader who preached that day, nor do they present verbatim sermons or full transcripts. Any claim about a political or cultural stance by “Christian leaders on Jan. 5” beyond the themes present in these resources would be unsupported by these sources; the materials here are worship planning, a local leader profile, and a youth broadcast notice ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}.

5. Where to look next if you want names and statements

To compile a factual list of specific Christian leaders who publicly spoke on January 5, 2025 and what they said, consult contemporaneous local‑news coverage, denominational press releases, individual church websites or recorded services (many congregations post sermons), and official social media feeds from national church bodies or influential pastors. The documents provided do not perform that function — they offer lectionary themes, program descriptions, and a small number of leader mentions, but not a comprehensive record of speakers or direct quotations ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}.

6. Final assessment and limitations of this report

This briefing relies solely on the supplied search results and therefore can only report what they contain: liturgical resources for Jan. 5 (Center for Faith and Giving; Presbyterian Outlook), a local Epiphany leader profile (Sister Ann Casper) and a Church of Jesus Christ of Latter‑day Saints youth broadcast notice tied to Jan. 5 ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}. The sources do not list a wider set of Christian leaders who “spoke on Jan 5,” nor do they include verbatim texts of sermons; any broader claims would be outside the scope of the available reporting ^{[1] [2] [4] [3]}. If you want, I can search for sermon recordings, denominational press releases, or local news stories from Jan. 5, 2025 to assemble a more complete list.
