## Resource

Before there were witnesses, signs, sermons, or songs, there was the Word. John opens his Gospel by taking us back before creation itself, showing us that Jesus did not simply appear in history; He is the eternal Word through whom all things were made, the source of life and light. John the Baptist came as a witness, pointing beyond himself so that others might believe. In John 1:1-9, we are reminded that the light of Christ shines into the darkness, and that God still calls His people to bear faithful witness to that light today. Recorded June 7th, 2026Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: John 1:1-9
