SERMON TEXT:  John 1:1-14
SERMON TITLE:   "The Word Became Flesh"  // Tim Latham

**Please note:  There will be NO Sunday School this Sunday, December 1st.

New Sermon Series

This advent we will reflect on the Incarnation through a close examination on John 1:14 

Advent literally means “coming,” and the season calls us to meditate on the two comings of Jesus: one past, one future.  What makes both these comings similar is that both of them are about God coming to dwell among us on the earth.  We remember the first coming of God when the second person of the Trinity was born to Mary in the Manger. We anticipate the second coming of God when Jesus will come again to unite heaven and earth, and God will again dwell among us as He did in Eden (Revelation 21:3). God dwelling with us on the earth: that is the substance of the Christian hope. 

This Advent and Christmas, we’ll be focusing on one single verse about the dwelling God: John 1:14.

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.”

This single verse speaks of our hope: that God came to dwell among us, and he will come to dwell again.   
 
Let’s go deep into this great truth together, looking back to the Old Testament and forward to the Second Coming, as we begin anew and refocus our hearts on the God who longs to dwell with us.

Food Pantry Collection

We continue to collect pantry items that are donated to the Glenmoore Food Pantry which is served by the Salvation Army. If anyone is curious how the food pantry hands out food, the folks working at the food pantry put together boxes of a variety of items for each family to pick up. Patrons using the food pantry do not select what items they will receive. Thank you to everyone who has donated... for your generosity to this mission!
