Christmas at Crosspoint - Part 1

In this message, Pastor Paul delves into the heart of the Christmas season with an exploration of the Gospel of John. Join us in this exciting sermon as Pastor Paul, our lead pastor, unravels the profound origins of Jesus and the powerful message embedded in John's Gospel.

As we approach Christmas, Pastor Paul humorously shares some holiday cheer and traditions, reminding us of the unique ways people celebrate. From Floridian Christmas caroling in Hawaiian shirts to gatherings with relatives we might not always love, traditions hold a special place in our hearts.

The sermon takes a deep dive into the Gospel of John, the fourth book of the New Testament, written by John, the beloved disciple. Pastor Paul highlights John's unique approach, referring to himself as the "beloved disciple" and shares the humility of John the Baptist, Jesus' cousin and herald. 

The Gospel of John opens with a poetic portrayal of Jesus as the eternal Word, the light of the world, and the life-giver. Pastor Paul explores the significance of these verses, emphasizing the transformative impact of Jesus' arrival.

The sermon challenges us not to lose sight of the true meaning of Christmas amid the hustle and bustle. In a world consumed by commercialism, let's remember that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus—the light that pierces through darkness, the lamb of God who takes away our sins.

As we reflect on Pastor Paul's message, let's consider the core of our faith. Is Jesus the light of our lives? Have we truly embraced Him as Lord and Savior? 

Join us on this journey through the Gospel of John and rediscover the profound significance of Christmas. Don't let the season pass without acknowledging the true reason for our joy—Jesus Christ.
