The 1st Sunday in Advent 2024. Dr. Jerry Shields preaches from the sermon series “God’s Redemptive Plan in Christ Jesus” in this sermon entitled “A New Beginning in Christ Jesus”.

Explore John 1:1-14 and discover God’s redemptive plan through Jesus Christ, offering a new beginning to a world marred by sin and darkness. This passage reveals Jesus as the light of the world, shining in the darkness and bringing life, hope, and reconciliation. Despite the world’s rejection, the light continues to shine, and darkness cannot overcome it. Believers are called to participate in God’s plan by bearing witness to this light, sharing the message of Jesus, and leading others to faith. Embracing the light involves a personal decision to turn from the darkness of sin and accept a new identity, status, and relationship as children of God. Reflect on how you can bear witness to the light of Christ in your daily interactions and commit to sharing His message with those around you.
