1-4-26 "Darkness Overcome" by Pastor Glen Schlecht

We start this Epiphany series with this powerful prophecy from Isaiah. He speaks very directly of darkness, a deep darkness God’s people were mired in because of the exiles and the horrors of those experiences. The darkness runs deep but the light is not overcome. We hear from Isaiah the proclamation of a future reality that we know will be Jesus, as God’s promise of a Savior is fulfilled. Isaiah sees this as a reality, even though it won’t happen for another 700 years! But that is the power of The Light. Included in Isaiah’s prophecy is the foreshadowing of the Magi and just how far the light of the Gospel shines.Old Testament: Isaiah 60:1-6 Epistle: Ephesians 3:2-6 Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12Sermon Title: “Darkness Overcome” As always, if you can’t be here in-person, take advantage of our live stream option.
