An Origin Story

An Origin Story

Merry Christmas! Worship with us as we embrace God’s Word and hear from Pastor Jeremy Lobdell as he teaches from John 1:1-14 in the Christmas Eve sermon, “An Origin Story.”

The deity and distinction of Jesus are on full display in the Gospel of John:

  1. Jesus is God
  2. Jesus gives life
  3. Go to Jesus to get life

17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. 

18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.
