God So Loved… Everything?

When Jesus said, “God so loved the world,” John chose a surprising word. Not earth. Not humanity. Cosmos.

All of creation.

Everything God made.

In this message, Pastor Phil unpacks how the love of God stretches far wider than we usually imagine—from mountains and oceans to the thin places where time and eternity brush up against each other. Through temple imagery, incarnation, and the presence of the Spirit, we see how God doesn’t stay distant. God comes near. God dwells. God fills creation—and us—with love.

Christmas isn’t just the story of a birth.

It’s the story of a God who refuses to stay far away.
