1 John 1:1-4 - The Incarnation - A Physical Presence With Us

We begin our Advent series focusing on passages that discuss the incarnation of Christ. In this sermon, Rev. Ben Sinnard will be spending time in 1 John 1:1-4, the prologue of 1 John. We are a physical people, a people that use our senses to experience this world. God the Son took on human flesh and walked among us to appeal to our physical, human, created selves. This physical presence of Christ among us offers us great hope in this life as we await the renewal of all things.
