In The Beginning
This Sunday, we will reflect on one of the most powerful passages in Scripture: John’s opening vision of Jesus as the eternal Word made flesh. In this Gospel, the Word of God is not presented merely as text on a page, but as a living person—full of life, presence, truth, and glory.
John invites us to see that faithful preaching and teaching must do more than explain the Word correctly. It must present Jesus in a way that is alive, personal, and transformative. His Gospel is rich with imagery, symbolism, and depth, calling us to look beneath the surface and encounter Christ with fresh eyes.
How can the Word of God be present among us, not merely presented to us?
Join us as we consider how the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and how that reality should shape the way we hear, teach, and live out God’s truth today.
