Sermon Title: "Overcoming Darkness"

Sermon Title: "Overcoming Darkness"

Out from the darkness we stepped into the light. Jesus is the light of the world, offering hope to everyone who trusts in Him alone. In a sermon series titled, "Christmas Light", we will discover how Jesus can shine bright this holiday season. We will attempt, not to merely add Jesus to the mix of an already busy schedules, but to recognize Him as the primary reason for the Christmas season.

Overview: As we enter the Christmas season, let us not get distracted by the hustle and bustle of holiday busyness, but let us remain focused on the primary point. Such a point is fine and precise. There is no room to alter the margins of truth. Any attempt to make the season brighter than it already is would only lead to empty hope.

Directions: Today, we will explore three biblical truths that will help us better understand the true meaning of Christmas and how Jesus offers to all who trust in Him the light of men, a light that overcomes all darkness.
I. The only way of knowing the unknown God. (v. 1)
II. The only uncaused cause of creation. (v. 2-3)
III. The only undoing of humanity’s wrongdoing. (v. 4-5)
Destination: It has been said, “Jesus is the reason for the season.” This statement is more than a clever saying, it is a truth that derives from the heart of everyone who believes. In other words, without Jesus as our primary focus, everything we do and everything we celebrate becomes pointless. Jesus is our hope during the holidays. He is our Christmas light.

Reflection: Use the private notes section below or your personal journal to put the message of these verses into your own words so you can communicate them with others.

Your voice matters! (see Mark 16:15)
