    Funeral message for Mrs. Julia Hamilton, the mother of several accomplished sons. A "lovely light" (of Millay’s poem) is one which reveals truth, shares light in the household, and looks to God as the author of all light.

    The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? ... I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. The Lord is my light – and on this dismal day, when outside the rain continues to fall, and ...read more

    A short vesper or devotional on keeping your light burning for Christ. It uses the lighthouse as an example.

    On various occasions I have had need for a short devotional, vesper or bedtime story, if you will. Inevitably I have returned to a favorite of mine that I located many years ago in a Leadership of Youth Groups publication by Farmland Industries, Kansas City, Missouri. I have considerably ...read more

    Christians may all be a candle that is useful to the Kingdom of God but that candle is only good for pleasing the flesh unless it is set on fire by the Holy Ghost.

    Candles Without Light As I walked through the sanctuary this morning, praying for God to reveal to me what he would have me to say to you, my eye was drawn to this candlestick and holder that sat upon the table. I was struck by its beauty and by the fact that it adorned the House of God, making ...read more

    Have you ever wondered if you were on course?

    *Sitting on the altar is a flashlight turned on with a dark cover over it to keep the light from shining out. Imagine. If you will for a moment, a large merchant ship is out on the ocean.

     | 3,631 views

    A short sermon aimed mainly at a large group of ’not-yet’ Christians coming on a Sunday morning. Israel was called to be salt and light but made a hash of it. Jesus was, and still is salt and light, and calls us to be salt and light.

    Have you ever left detailed instructions only to return and find things in a bit of a mess? Perhaps you left instructions with your children as they were sat around the dinner table, and when you returned just 2 minutes later there was food everywhere, tears flowing, and blackcurrant juice dripping ...read more

    We are called to be the salt and light of the world.

    These two examples Jesus uses may seem insignificant now, but in the first century salt and light was very valuable. In the Roman market place salt was even used at times as money and without electricity light was a valuable asset at night. Today we often take these two things for granted. What ...read more

    Salty Saints Matthew 5:13 Mark 12:37 And the common people heard him gladly. This was said of Jesus, and was a great compliment. It was said, partly, because He used illustrations, which help us understand. Following the beatitudes, Jesus gives us a couple of illustrations to help us see ...read more
