Sermon Series
Out of Darkness, Light
December 2024
Something is wrong. And our culture has a hard time pinpointing what it is. Different people at different times have their own explanations... and their own solutions, but none of them work. So what is the problem? Listen as Pastor Josué Pernillo begins a new Advent sermon series aimed at helping us better understand what darkness is, what light is, how they interplay in Scripture, and how a people living in darkness, on them the light of Christ has shone. In this sermon on Isaiah 9:2, Pastor Josué shows us how people living in darkness have seen a great light.
You were made for God’s glory. You were made to know God’s glory, to taste God’s glory, to behold and be changed by... God’s glory. In the New Testament, the Greek word used for glory, dóxa, connotes light that is shining, and in the context of John 1, it is clear that the light that is shining in darkness, the true light that is coming into the world, is not an abstract principle but a person: Jesus Christ. But what does it mean that Jesus is the true light? And how do we take in God’s glory? Listen as Pastor Ethan Brown preaches on John 1:5, 9, showing that Jesus as the light is the glory of God on full display, and that we are changed by his glory as we look and behold Jesus and find him to be beautiful.
