    "A saint is a person who lets the light shine through."

    A young boy went with his parents touring around Europe one summer. Part of their tour included visits to the great old cathedrals of the past.

    Blinded By Darkness

    We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

    “BLINDED BY DARKNESS” Rev. Mike Reed, Winter Haven, Florida March 2014 1 John 2:9-11 1 John 2:14 Psalm 112:4 Proverbs 4:18-20 John 8:12 Luke 11:34-35 Psalm 18:28 1 Peter 2:9-10 1 John 2:9-11, 14 (New Living Translation) 9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but ...read more

    A sermon for Epiphany Sunday.

    "Darkness and Light" Matthew 2:1-12 When you live in the city it can be easy to forget what it's like to get away from streetlights, big buildings, bright restaurant signs, car headlights, and all the rest. I was out in the country a year or so ago, and we were getting ready to have a bon ...read more

    Holes In The Darkness

    You are the light of the world. As you live out this goodness visibly in front of the people of the world, your life will point them to Jesus where they too can find life that is real life.

    Opening illustration: Robert Lewis Stevenson, peering out of the window saw a workman come by and light the gas lights along the street. When asked what he was watching, the young boy said, “I see a man making holes in the darkness.” Let us turn to Matthew 5 and see how we as believers can make ...read more

    Exposing The Darkness Series

    Contributed by D Marion Clark on Jul 23, 2012
     | 7,335 views

    Lives are at stake, both our neighbors and our own. In regard to our neighbors, we are either living as light before them and hopefully exposing for them their darkness, or we are keeping our light hidden and allowing them to wander in the darkness unawar

    Introduction In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the ...read more

    We have been brought out of darkness to show forth the glory of God.

    I opened the last chapter describing the watershed interaction between Jesus and his disciples, which culminated in Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. In a similar manner God and his people, the Israelites, had a watershed experience in which their ...read more

    There are times that life is filled with great disappointment but God sustains us.

    Psalms 139:7-12 KJV Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? [8] If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

    A Promise In The Darkness

    Isaiah the prophet communicated the prophecy about Immanuel to Ahaz. An angel communicated the promise of Jesus to Joseph. Ahaz responded in fear. Joseph responded in trust.

    “The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel.” Most of you are familiar with the story: Joseph had learned that Mary was with child, and he was making plans to divorce her quietly. An angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying to Joseph: ...read more

    Do demons exist? And if they do, what do we know about them and how can we deal with them?

    Years ago, we had a popular preacher in our brotherhood named Ben Alexander. Ben had once been a Spiritualist Medium who held seances where he’d talk with the dead. Then he became a Christian, and spent much of his life explaining that a lot of seances he’d been part of (he said) were fake… but ...read more

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more
