Scripture:  John 1:1-5, Luke 1:46-55,  Luke 2:17-20,  Matthew 2:11-12, Matthew 2:16

Speaker:  Scott Meyer

Summary:  The sermon focuses on the transition from God's 400 years of silence to the birth of Jesus, marking the fulfillment of God's promises. Scott compares this moment to the opening of an epic story, using the Gospel of John to highlight Jesus as the divine Word and light that shatters darkness. Key figures such as Mary, the shepherds, and the Magi demonstrate humble responses to Jesus, while Herod represents resistance and fear. The sermon emphasizes that God's promises are always fulfilled, and true understanding of Jesus comes from a posture of humility. It concludes with a call to action, asking the audience how they will respond—through worship, sharing the good news, or resistance.
