Bible Text: John 1 | Preacher: Rev. Dr. Lou Saldiveri | Series: Sunday Morning Worship | — Pastor Lou’s Notes —
Intro: Sometimes, we think that words don’t mean anything or words are just words. However, words are important. They tend to reveal what is in our hearts. They also will ultimately will reveal hypocrisy in our lives.

The Bible reaffirms that what comes out of our mouths reveals what is in our hearts. In John 1:1-14, we see that the Word reveals much about God and Jesus Christ. I invite you to explore what the Word reveals this morning.

This is the greatest gift of love the Father can ever give us e.g. His one and only Son so that you and I might come to know God in a personal relationship

Closing:
This morning, I would like to ask you a few questions.
1.
Have you come to a place in your life where you want to know that your sins are forgiven and you would like a new relationship with God through faith in Christ? He came to earth to die for your sin and mine. He came to take the full wrath of God for our rebellion and sin. In love, He bore the full wrath of the Father in our place.
2.
If you already have a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ, will you let the light of the Word explore every area of our lives? In this way, with the help of the Holy Spirit, we can allow God to help us to become more like our Savior each and every day.
