The message teaches that Jesus Christ embodies both unmerited grace and absolute truth — not as mere ideas but as the living Word who became flesh.

The incarnation — the Word becoming flesh — reveals God’s astounding love, His willingness to dwell with humanity, and His provision of salvation through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. Jesus’ coming in the flesh makes possible our adoption into God’s family, offering eternal life and transforming our identity and purpose in Him.

The sermon proclaims that “the Word” in John 1 — the Logos — is not an impersonal force but the eternal, divine, personal agent through whom all creation came into being. It asserts that Jesus (the Logos) predates creation, sustains all life, and brings light and purpose to humanity.

This message is part of our Christmas series called: The True Light of Christmas, where we look at the message in John chapter 1. The message emphasizes that while grace comforts, truth challenges, and both are essential for spiritual growth and meaningful relationships. By confronting uncomfortable truths about ourselves and our lives, we open the door for God’s grace to transform and redeem us.

This is the first message in our Christmas series titled: The true Light of Christmas where we explore the message of John in Chapter 1. In this message, The Light of Creation, we explore John 1:1-4, where Jesus is revealed as the Logos—the eternal Word of God who created and sustains the universe.

In today’s message Deceptive Light and Defeating Darkness we learn from Jesus that as we grow in our faith we need to be careful not to be deceived by false Light and we need to tell people how we were set free from darkness.

The subject of the text in Luke 17:26-37 is very difficult. It speaks about what the condition of the world will be like when God comes back to bring His final judgement, but because Jesus loves us so much He wants us to be ready for that day, He tells us the truth even when it is uncomfortable.

Just like Jesus got ridiculed by His audience after the parable in Luke 16, the church often gets ridiculed when we talk about money, like that is all the church cares about. But that is definitely true at Crosswinds! One of the reasons why people object to the church preaching about money is because there are some churches that preach a false gospel of prosperity. It is true that you can’t outgive God. If you give to Him, he will give to you much more in return, not necessarily more money, that is prosperity teaching, but rather more eternal blessings.

Shine your light onto others. When you believe in Christ and you follow His ways you have a strong inner light that radiates to the outside.

When we cast darkness out of our lives we need to make sure to keep our hearts and lives full of love and our commitment in faith to Jesus Christ. Being full of the love He has for us keeps any evil from trying to come back into our lives.
