Are you tired of the darkness? Do the holidays amplify pain instead of joy? Senior Pastor Sam Weitman delivers a powerful message about finding courageous peace in a world that often feels overwhelming.

What if Christmas isn't just about what happened 2,000 years ago—but about what's still to come?
In this message from John 1:4-13, Pastor Sam explores why Jesus is called "the light of the world" and what that means for your life right now. 🤍


Key Takeaways:

❄️ Why we can face darkness with courage—even when grief and loss feel overwhelming

❄️ What it means to be "the light" in a dark world—and why your story matters

❄️ How to find peace with God as family, not enemies—no matter how far you've walked from Him

❄️ Why physical pain and broken bodies don't have the final word
