Sermon Extra: Is Every Theophany a Christophany?
Sep 29, 2026 • Nick Cady, Stephen Pomeroy
Did Jesus appear in the Old Testament before His birth in Bethlehem? Throughout Scripture, we find accounts of God appearing to His people—but are all these appearances actually appearances of Jesus Christ?
In this week’s Sermon Extra, Pastors Nick Cady and Stephen explore the difference between a theophany (an appearance of God) and a Christophany (an appearance of Christ before His incarnation). From the Angel of the Lord to other divine encounters in the Old Testament, discover what Scripture reveals about how God makes Himself known.
Is every theophany a Christophany? Explore this fascinating question and discover how the Old Testament points us to Jesus.
