About this sermon

From Genesis to John, this sermon traces the story of a God who creates out of delight, draws near in love, and refuses to give up on his people—even when he’s rejected. When humanity writes itself out of the story through sin, God writes himself in through Jesus, becoming flesh to bring us back home. This is Christmas: love made visible, inviting us to receive Christ and carry his light into the world. Catch the sermon on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or bridge.tv/sermons.
