Light and Life in the Darkness

Bible Text: John 1:1-4, 14–18 | Preacher: Nick Whitaker | Series: Gospel of John

God has been revealed in Jesus Christ.

John 1:1-4, 14–18
[1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [2] He was in the beginning with God. [3] All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. [4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men. [5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

[14] And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. [15] (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) [16] For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. [17] For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. [18] No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

Born to Give them Second Birth

Bible Text: John 1:1–4, 9–13 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Gospel of John

Because light and life are found in Jesus Christ, we must enter a relationship with him.
 
John 1:1–4, 9-13
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. …

9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, 13 who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.

God’s Lineage

Bible Text: Matthew 1:1–17 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Christmas in Matthew

The gifts have been opened, the egg nog has been drunk, the cookies have been eaten, and the families have been visited—or at least Zoomed. But in the midst of all the festivities, did you catch the beauty and mystery of Christmas? Did you consider who that baby in the manger would be and what he would do? God’s power in the world often comes in surprising and hidden ways, but it always comes to flawed and broken people. Join us this Sunday as we worship the King who came to be with his people.

The High King’s Favor

Bible Text: Luke 2:1–20 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: Christmas

It may not have been the Christmas we’re used to, but it arrived nonetheless. The gifts have been opened, the egg nog has been drunk, the cookies have been eaten, and the families have been Zoomed. But in the midst of all the festivities, did you catch the beauty and mystery of Christmas? Did you consider who that baby in the manger would be and what he would do? God’s power in the world often comes in surprising and hidden ways. It takes faith to see it. How do we learn to detect his hand at work in the world?
