    Under Cover Of Darkness Series

    based on 15 ratings
     | 6,793 views

    What was happening on the cross when darkness is said to have covered the face of the earth?

    Matthew 27:45-50 As we read this passage, two questions come to our minds: 1. Why did darkness cover the whole land (v. 45)? We are told there was a thick darkness over the whole land for three hours, from "the sixth hour until the ninth hour," or from noon till three o’clock in the afternoon. ...read more

    Jesus, the light of the world, came to give us hope.

    Light To A Dark World Text: Jn. 1:6-13 Introduction 1. Illustration: As Craig T. Kocher in his commentary on our text states, "Christian hope is fundamentally different from optimism.

    The Dark Night Of The Soul Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 1, 2022
     | 2,904 views

    In this “Dark Night of the Soul” we see the relationship between prayer and action through three things: Through 1) His Sorrow Matthew 26:36–38), 2) His Supplication (Matthew 26:39–45a), and 3) His Strength (Matthew 26:45b-46).

    Matthew 26:36-46. [36] Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go over there and pray." [37] And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. [38] Then he said to them, "My ...read more

    From Darkness To Light Series

    How are we to be people of integrity in a world that’s opposed to God? By being children of light, and living as light in the world. That means ensuring that the things we do are things that we’re proud of, things that we’d gladly do in the presence of Go

    What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Well, the word derives from the word integer, which means something that’s complete or whole in itself. So when you’re reading a letter like Ephesians, which concentrates so much on unity in the Church, it’s appropriate that we think about unity of our ...read more

    Seeing Through The Darkness Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,907 views

    This is a time of profound darkness, when many things we have depended on fail. We may be among the curious crowd or the concerned companions, but we will eventually see. Who will be the next converted centurion?

    When you are suddenly plunged into darkness, that darkness is profound, and you cannot see anything. But wait a while, let your eyes adjust, and if there is a glimmer of light anywhere, you will begin to see and you will make your way through. The darkness will not be quite as dismal as you first ...read more

    Life can get dark. And that darkness can create doubt and fear in our lives. What can we do when life gets hard and there doesn't seem to be anyway out of the difficulties we face?

    OPEN: One woman told about her favorite spot at the local zoo. It was an exhibit called the House of Night. It was a place where you could see creatures of the night that would crawl and fly about, but because it held creatures of the night… it was nearly totally dark. She said that one very ...read more

    Of all the recent stories of people held captive, the one of U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, has been the most controversial.
