Let There Be Light - Creation Day 1 Series

Contributed by Dr. Bradford Reaves on Aug 5, 2021

What is the significance in the first day and what does it say against the backdrop of evolutionary science. Even more, how does Jesus fit into this motif?

The Light That Overcomes All Darkness- Introduction

Contributed by Gary Tate on Mar 6, 2024

This I believe can help those who have or are struggling with their relationships. As a grown man now, I understand I had been living within “darkness”. I did not understand until ten years ago I was walking around being held captive by feelings of abandonment and a “orphan spirit”.

I find that we all want to understand what we can do when facing what seems to be at times an onslaught against us mentally and Spiritually. This can be true for those who have dealt with the thought of not being loved, as I did as a young boy. In my situation then as my “birth Father” was never ...read more

Contributed by Troy Borst on Jun 2, 2016

We must "walk in the light" each and every day with all the people we meet in all the situations we find ourselves in. If we do not, we make God a liar because we claim to be His (light) and yet walk in darkness.

Contributed by David Dykes on Oct 29, 2014

The Moon In The Bible Series
