Grounded in John chapter 1, this message explores God as Word and light, a creative and sustaining presence that brings meaning into the world and cannot be overcome by darkness. God is revealed not as distant or abstract, but as fully present, choosing to dwell among us and take on flesh in ordinary human life. Central to this message is the call not only to receive the light, but to embody it. As light was spoken into creation at the beginning, we are invited to live as bearers of that light today, especially in places marked by fear, injustice, weariness, and division. Drawing on the imagery of “Go Tell It on the Mountain,” this message affirms that God’s light is intended for all people and calls on us to help make that light visible through acts of compassion, presence, and hope, participating in the ongoing work of renewal and new beginnings in the world.
