Passage: 1 John 1:5-10
Sixty years ago, Andy Williams released a Christmas song titled “The Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” However, for many people, this time of year is not wonderful. In fact, many people are longing for comfort. In today’s sermon, Pastor Merritt preaches from 1 John 1 showing that Christmas reminds us of the comforting truth that in a world that is spiritually wrong before God, we can be eternally right with God.
