The Purpose of John

Why did God take on human flesh, and how does His coming transform our daily reality?In this foundational sermon on John 1:1–18, Pastor Neil McClendon examines the deep theological richness of the prologue of John’s Gospel. Addressing both the Greek concept of the Logos and a Jewish audience steeped in monotheism, this message breaks down how Jesus brings God out of abstract philosophy and into personal, relational reach.
