Pastor Gail Linstrom – “Light Amidst the Darkness” – Verdugo Community Church January 15, 2023

In her sermon “Light Amidst the Darkness,” Pastor Gail concludes the Christmas narrative of Mary and Joseph after the visit of the Wise Men, when God directs them to flee to Egypt to protect Jesus’s life, and later to return to Nazareth when the threat is gone. From their story and those of other Biblical people and her own, she shows that God as a plan for each person’s life – and that he will care for them through trials and challenges if they trust him on their journey with him. By following God’s guidance and not culturally-driven expectations and our own desires, we receive unexpected blessings and further God’s plan of salvation.
