Advent 2020
Preparing Our Hearts for Christmas
December 20, 2020 • Pastor Phil Kooistra
In this Advent sermon from John 1:9-18, we see that Jesus is the way to God and the very image of God. He reveals God’s grace and truth, and it is in him that we can most clearly see God’s nature and character. As we prepare our hearts for Christmas, may we remember and rejoice that Christ came that we might know God and be reconciled to him. From our Sunday service at Grace Bible Church of Bend.
The Light in the Darkness
December 13, 2020 • Pastor Phil Kooistra
How can we prepare our hearts this Christmas season? In this Advent sermon, we are reminded that to prepare our hearts we must know that Jesus is God, and that he is the One who gives life and light. He is God in the flesh, our Creator, and is full of truth, holiness, goodness, and life. Our great King has come, and in his light darkness is banished.
