Christ Enters Our Chaos With Light
Nov 30, 2025 • Nate Preisinger
In this Advent 1 sermon on John 1:1–4, 14–16 and Genesis 1:1–9, Pastor Nate reflects on Fleming Rutledge’s reminder that “Advent begins in the dark.” In a world full of confusion, chaos, and mistrust—deepfakes, fake news, echo chambers, and curated certainty—this message reveals why Advent begins exactly where we feel lost: God steps into the darkness, hovers over the chaos, and brings light through Christ.
Through a powerful personal story and the opening words of Scripture, Pastor Nate shows how God’s presence does not shame or fix us from afar, but meets us with compassion right where we feel overwhelmed. Jesus becomes the light in our darkness, so that we can become light for others.
