Passage: John 1:1-5 & 14 Sermon in a Sentence: Behold your God Introduction: Some lines are so iconic they're instantly recognizable. In the same way, John begins his gospel with a bombshell statement: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” Point 1: The Word is God 1. There is only one God. a. Christianity is a _______ faith. b. John's claim is clear: Jesus is ______ c. Misunderstanding this truth leads to heresies like Gnosticism and Mormonism. 2. Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are distinct yet fully God. a. “The Word was with God” shows the Word is distinct from the Father and the Spirit. b. Each Person in the Trinity has distinct roles: i. The ______ sends the Son and speaks creation into existence. ii. The ______ is “The Word” who reveals and redeems. iii. The _____ brings life and spiritual understanding. 3. Jesus is “The Word.” a. In the Old Testament, the “Word of the Lord” brings ________ and reveals ____. b. The Word is God's speech in action, bringing life and healing. Point 2: The Word brought light 1. In John 1:5, the light shines, and the darkness did not ______ or __________ it. a. John uses a double meaning here i. First: Darkness cannot understand the light. (John 8:12—Jesus declares, “I am the light of the world,” but the Pharisees call Him a liar.) ii. Second: Darkness cannot overcome Jesus. Satan, demons, and sinful men try to stop Him, even by crucifixion, but the resurrection proves their failure. 2. The mistake of familiarity. a. It's easy to think of Jesus as just a good teacher or philosopher. b. But John reminds us: Jesus is the Holy God, the source of all life in the universe. c. Like Uzzah in 2 Samuel 6, familiarity can dull our awe and respect for the divine. i. Uzzah thought his sinful hand was holier than the ground. ii. His error came from losing reverence for the __________________ , housed in his family home for decades. Point 3: The Word became flesh 1. The Word became __________ and dwelt among us, sharing in our struggles and taking on weakness to redeem us. 2. The Creator who made and sustains everything willingly humbled Himself to live among us and die for us. 3. Humanity has been __________ from God because of sin, forfeiting the right to know Him. 4. God chose to reveal Himself through the Word, bridging the gap we could never cross on our own. God Came in Grace and Truth a. Though we deserved judgment, God came in __________ and __________, showing His steadfast love and faithfulness. b. He could have come in wrath, but instead, He revealed His glory in redemption. The Word's Humility and Sacrifice a. Jesus, fully God, became human for __________ and endured suffering and death for our sake. b. His humility calls us to lay down our __________ and take up our __________ to follow Him. To give please visit: wearetruelove.com/give Join TLC on our social media for updates!

Passage: Philippians 2:5-8 Sermon Notes: This Christmas season, we reflect on Philippians 2:5-8 to uncover the depth of Christ's humility. Through His birth, life, and sacrifice, Jesus demonstrated selfless humility, servanthood, and sacrificial love. Join us as we explore how Christ's incarnation teaches us to embrace His mindset in our daily lives and live in light of His transformative love. Study Group Questions 1. Understanding the Text: What does Philippians 2:5-8 teach us about Christ's divine nature and His choice to humble Himself? How does the concept of kenosis (self-emptying) challenge our understanding of humility and service? 2. Application to Daily Life: In what ways can you adopt the mindset of selfless humility in your relationships and actions? Reflect on areas in your life where pride or entitlement might be hindering your walk with Christ. How can you surrender these to Him? 3. Gospel Focus: How does Christ's humility, as seen in His birth and death, deepen your understanding of the Gospel? How can you share the selfless love of Christ with others this Christmas season? 4. Reflection on Sacrifice: What does it mean to embrace a heart of selfless sacrifice? Are there areas in your life where God is calling you to greater sacrifice for His glory or the sake of others? Main Points for Note-Taking 1. Christ's Birth Teaches Us to Have a Posture of Selfless Humility: Jesus, though fully God, did not cling to His divine privileges but humbled Himself. His humility is a model for us to count others as more significant and let go of selfish ambition. 2. Christ's Birth Teaches Us to Have the Mind of a Selfless Servant: Jesus chose servanthood over domination, coming to serve rather than to be served. His example challenges us to relinquish entitlement and focus on meeting others' needs. 3. Christ's Birth Teaches Us to Have a Heart of Selfless Sacrifice: Christ's incarnation and death demonstrate the ultimate sacrifice for our salvation. We are called to reflect this sacrificial love in our own lives, putting God's glory and the good of others above our own desires To give please visit: wearetruelove.com/give Join TLC on our social media for updates!
