The Long Road To Dawn

In this Christmas sermon, Pastor Kohl goes over some of the history leading up to the birth of Christ. God has been calling His own throughout history, yet things were very dark at times. Yet, in the fullness of time God sent forth His Son. A bright dawn of light shining so bright that we cannot ignore it (literally a date built into our calendars), all history revolves around Christ's birth. Yet, God promises that is not the end. Christ is coming again, when in the fullness of time, He will gather all to Himself. And if His first coming was a sunrise transforming the world, His 2nd coming is promised to be a Super Nova.
