Sermons

Rev. Dr. Bob Fuller begins by declaring Genesis 1:1 the most important verse in the Bible, since creation itself is the foundation for everything else. He emphasizes that God made humanity in his image, declaring creation “very good,” and though sin entered and corrupted the world, God chose restoration through Christ. The heart of the sermon focuses on the incarnation—God becoming fully human in Jesus—affirming the goodness of ordinary life. Fuller highlights seven events in Jesus’s life—his birth, growth, baptism, temptation, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension—as moments that sanctify every stage of human existence. Jesus embraced ordinary rhythms like family, work, relationships, and struggle, showing that nothing in human life is beneath God’s redemption. By facing temptation, suffering, fear, and even death, Jesus fully identified with humanity and overcame sin and death on our behalf. His resurrection promises renewal not only of souls but of all creation, while his ascension confirms that human life is forever joined with God. Fuller concludes that discipleship is not about escaping this life but about offering our ordinary lives to God, who makes them holy through Christ. Our everyday existence matters, because in Jesus, God has claimed us as beloved children, redeemed and renewed for eternal hope.
