When God Comes Near

Dec 28, 2025    The Rev. Dr. R. Leigh Spruill

In this sermon on the Prologue of John’s Gospel, we explore how God’s light enters human darkness not as an abstract idea, but as a living presence. Through stories of discovery, revelation, and grace, we’re invited to see Christmas as more than a memory of Jesus’ birth. It becomes the possibility of new life, new meaning, and the awakening of the soul.

This is the good news of Christmas: God comes to us where we are, opening our eyes to a reality far larger than we imagined.
