    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,462 views

    This is the first of our 2019 Advent sermons. In this sermon we look at how sin has been a constant, and universal problem from the fall until the birth of Christ that first Christmas morning, and how Christ's coming, drives out that darkness and brings life and light

    Advent 2019 (Pt. 1) Text: Isaiah 9:2-7 Well it’s that time of year once again… the time when we do our Advent sermons.

    Herod was among the first few to hear the Christmas message, but he was too bent on doing his own will, too wrapped up in himself, and too caught up by power and control, to see the light.

    Matthew reminds us that Jesus did not enter the world with sparkling lights and soothing carols. • Jesus along with his family begins his life as a refugee in need of asylum. • King Herod was part of the backdrop of this first Christmas play, together with the singing angels, the happy shepherds ...read more

    Christ—the Light Of The World Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Sep 8, 2017
     | 16,340 views

    “I am the light of the world” is the highest claim that He has made so far in the Gospel of John. One of the definitions of God is that He is light (see 1 John 1:5). He is absolute in His holiness and in His justice.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Christ—The Light of the World John 8:12-20 Jesus had a method that He often followed. After an incident or a miracle, He gives a discourse on that subject.

    Jesus Christ: The Light Of The World

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 17, 2022
     | 2,149 views

    John's Gospel presents seven distinctive claims by the Lord Jesus Christ (John 6:48, 8:12, 10:9, 11, 25, 14:6, 15:5). His claims reveal a great deal about our world, our lives, and what he has to offer us. This message will center on His claim of being "the Light of the World".

    The Lord Jesus made it clear to His disciples and those who encountered Him throughout HIs three and a half years of ministry that He was no mere healer, teacher, sage, or model of behavior we could try to emulate. Each of the four Gospels present Him as God Incarnate, the fulfillment of ...read more

    Jesus, the true light, came into the world--but no one recognized Him for who He truly was, nor was He received. But for all who have received Him, we now go out as Lights in His name, that others would recognize Jesus in us and receive Him who is coming!

    In 1929, The Saturday Evening Post ran an article on Albert Einstein. It was an interview with this brilliant man.

    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.
