    Light In Earthen Vessels

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,337 views

    God saw a lowly farmer like Gideon as a mighty warrior. When God looks at each of us, He sees a mighty warrior too. However, that warrior doesn’t appear unless we put our trust in the Lord and rely entirely on Him in faith.

    Our text today will come from the New International Version. In our message we’re going to view a story about an ordinary man who had an intense struggle with trusting God, and this man’s name was Gideon. We will learn how when Gideon finally trusted the Lord, that he understood what it meant to ...read more

    Jesus brings light to the world by revealing the truth about God because he is the Truth of God.

    I guess you could say that there have been 2 great quests of the 20th century. Those are the quest for truth and the quest for freedom. The quest for truth in fact goes back to the last century or beyond, to a search for truth through scientific discovery. There was a belief then that we could ...read more

    Isn't Jesus "the" light of the world? Why does Jesus call us the same?

    You Are the Light of the World Matthew 5:14-16 Like the previous verse concerning the believer being the “salt of the earth”, verse 14 begins with the emphatic “you”. This means that the true disciples of Jesus who hears His words and puts them into practice stands in a unique position as “the ...read more

    A perspective on John 1: 1-18. Jesus was born of flesh and blood just like you and me. And yet Christians confess that he is the Light of the world. How can this be? What sort of light is he?

    John 1: 1-18 Not Just An Ordinary Light! People respond to light. Sunlight brings people out to work and play. This celestial body of light, the sun provides energy and life for living things. Moonlight and starlight give us something to watch in the otherwise dark night sky. Some people look ...read more

    Are You Useful To God? Series

    based on 1 rating
     | 8,969 views

    God does not want believers to isolate or insulate themselves from the world and those who are lost. Like salt, Christians are called to make the world tastier; and like light, believers will shine the brightest only in the darkest places.

    Are you useful to God, or have you made yourself useless? When we come to know Jesus Christ, we are transformed into a holy instrument to be used by the Lord. We all have a purpose, but some of us choose to make ourselves useless by not allowing the Lord to touch us with His hand. To put it ...read more

     | 2,625 views

    Jesus is the only way to be saved. The Christmas story reemphasizes that He alone is the Light of the world.

    “May I help you?” Sometimes those are the most welcomed words I could hear, in the right situation. Sometimes, I really want to hear them… It’s usually in a grocery store the size of the moon, and I’m wandering around looking for something that I’ve never had to find before. Or, I’m in Crimson ...read more

    Shadow Of Death

    Contributed by G W Bill Elliott Jr on Feb 27, 2020
     | 7,475 views

    Yea, though I walk through the valley of the ‘shadow of death’ indicates there is a massive, bright and overwhelming light of hope behind any ‘darkness’ that haunts you. Behind any/all darkness in your life is that ‘ray of hope’, which is higher, greater, and certainly brighter than any ‘doom’.

    Fear is a distressing emotion aroused by impending danger, evil, pain, etc., whether the threat is real or imagined. Often it is the feeling or condition of being afraid. Combine that with Darkness and there-in is a gripping and many times overwhelming sense of pending doom.. of certain calamity… ...read more
