The God You Can See
In this sermon, Pastor Mark delves into John chapter 1, emphasizing the divinity of Christ and the call for believers to not only see but to be transformed by Him. He explores the concept of Jesus as the Word and true light, discussing how Jesus has always been part of God's plan. The sermon also addresses the pitfalls of placing ultimate trust in influential people rather than Jesus.
