Advent is here. The world longs and needs to hear messages of hope. May the church proclaim those messages. During this Advent season, Beacon Light will bring messages that focus on Jesus. We will look at how Jesus Christ is involved in all of creation, from its formation to its consummation. Four great themes will be addressed- Creation, Fall, Redemption, Consummation -or Restoration-. Today we will hear part one of what I feel is really a four-part sermon. Today's message is titled, -The King of Creation-. As a pastor and missionary, I have preached many Christmas messages. I have nothing new to bring you today. You most likely have heard it all. But that's Ok. During this season we don't need to hear anything new. We need to hear what is eternal. The world's hope lies in the eternal gospel.
