Sunday Sermon by Kevin Jensen — In the bright and glorious story of the birth of Jesus come moments of darkness: moments of shame, disappointment, sorrow, cruelty, and tragedy. Yet those dark moments are not able to overwhelm the wonder of the work God was beginning to do through his Son, our Savior. God took those dark moments and transformed them, redeemed them, so that they served his good purposes—just as he will one day redeem all our moments of darkness for those who love him. Text: Matthew 1:18 to 2:23
