Christmas Lights
Dec 04 2022 • Dan Kent, Greg Boyd, Shawna Boren
Plugging in Christmas lights is magical—the way those tiny bulbs light up a dark room. In this series we look at how the birth of a tiny Jewish boy lit up our dark world. His everlasting covenant shines in the dark of instability. His purpose for us shines in the dark of meaninglessness. His presence shines in the dark of loneliness. His hope shines in the dark of grief. Join us for this series as we celebrate Jesus, light of the world!
Sermons in this series:
Hope sets the course for our lives, as our hope determines our daily actions. But often we go through life putting our hope in that which has no ultimate importance. Christmas redefines hope, showing us what is ultimately valuable, and it demonstrates how God transforms our lives and the entire world.
