In this sermon for the First Sunday after Christmas, we turn to the opening of John’s Gospel and hear the bold claim at the heart of the Christian faith: the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Drawing on story, film, and lived experience, this sermon explores how Christ is the light that shines in the darkness, a light the darkness cannot overcome.

Jesus comes not just to illuminate the world, but to dwell with us, remake us, and fill us with grace and truth so that we might carry that light into a weary world.
