    Jesus’ proclamation that he is the light of the world holds powerful image for us, and helps us to understand how Jesus moves in our lives and ministers to our needs.

    Advent only has three midweek services this year. This was the last midweek sermon before Christmas. I was reminded of this interesting text reading a book by John Eldridge and thought that it’s a "nativity" story that doesn’t get much press in the church

    In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, the Holy Three In One who sent a child to slay a dragon. Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It’s not the usual nativity story that we’re used to. There is no mention of shepherds and their flocks, no mysterious glow around a ...read more

    When we choose not to hide in plain sight, we become catalysts for change. Our visibility allows God's love to flow through us, touching the lives of those around us.

    "Visionary View: Don't Hide in Plain Sight" Today, we delve into the concept of not hiding in plain sight, a vital message rooted in the New Living Translation of the Bible. Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT): "You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. ...read more

    When we believe in Christ, the Light of the World, He delivers us from the darkness. The darkness is still there, and it’s still deadly, but it cannot overcome the light of the Lord.

    Say you’re out in the bush somewhere at nighttime. All around it’s very dark, just the murkiness of midnight, and you’re a bit scared. You’re glad you have your flashlight, and glad the moon is shining. And when you come to a hill, and you look out over the treetops, you’re even gladder when you ...read more

    One of the names by which Christians are known is "Light.” Christians are supposed to be the light in this dark world. Christians are supposed to show the way to people who do not know the way. They are supposed to direct those who are in darkness

    Matthew 5:14-16 says, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candle stick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your ...read more
