The first Sunday in 2025, Dr. Jerry Shields preaches from the sermon series "From Victim to Victory" in this sermon entitled "From Darkness to Light". In a world filled with darkness and despair due to sin, Pastor Jerry emphasizes that Jesus came to bring light and hope to our broken existence. Despite the chaos and uncertainty we face, Jesus embodies God's presence and intervention, liberating individuals from various forms of captivity and despair. By highlighting Jesus' ministry and the fulfillment of prophecy, the message conveys that God offers new possibilities and personal transformation through faith. Ultimately, the pastor encourages everyone to acknowledge their darkness, renew their focus on God, and trust in His power to bring illumination and change in their lives.
