John 1:1 DESTROYS Arian Heresy [Sermon]
Matthew Everhard

December 22, 2025
Discover the profound truth of Jesus Christ's eternal deity and the miracle of the Incarnation in this powerful sermon on John 1:1-14!
Why does John's Gospel powerfully refute Arianism — the ancient heresy (still alive today in groups like Jehovah's Witnesses) that claims Jesus is a created being? Dive deep into verses like "In the beginning was the Word... and the Word was God" (John 1:1) and "The Word became flesh" (John 1:14) to see how Scripture affirms Christ's full divinity, co-eternality with the Father, and role as Creator — while also celebrating His humble birth as fully human.
This Christmas-season message explores:
- The soaring theology of John's prologue compared to the other Gospels
- How John destroys Arianism: "There was NEVER a time when He was not"
- The Hypostatic Union: Jesus as fully God and fully man
- Why only the God-Man can save us perfectly (no creature could!)
- Practical application: Bearing witness to the Light like John the Baptist and receiving Christ as Savior for "grace upon grace"
Perfect for anyone seeking biblical answers on who Jesus really is, the Trinity, Christmas meaning, or defending the faith against modern heresies.
