    Explores our transformation from darkness to light through Christ, the exposure of sinful acts, and the blessings of living in God's light.

    Good morning, family! It's another beautiful day that the Lord has made, and we're here to rejoice and be glad in it. Today, we're gonna get into a piece of Scripture that's gonna challenge us, encourage us, and hopefully, change us. Before we get to that, I want to share a quote with you from Gary ...read more

    It is dark and scary living in our sinful world. But Christ lights it by: 1. Chasing the darkness out of guilty consciences, and 2. Chasing the darkness from the problems sin causes.

    Epiphany 3 Isaiah 9:1-4 If I were teaching a class called “Scary Story Writing – 101,” the very first thing my students would learn is how to write the beginning sentence of a scary story. I would have them use the classic line: “it was a dark and stormy night.” You see, darkness sets the tone for ...read more

    Why does Matthew add the story of the slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem. First becasue it is fact and second to trigger assocaiations between Jesus birth and Moses birth (see details in sermon)

    I came across this excerpt from a sermon from the Early Church Father St. Quod-vult-deus (Sermo 2 de Symbolo: PL 40, 655) “A tiny child is born, who is a great king. Wise men are led to him from afar. They come to adore one who lies in a manger and yet reigns in heaven and on earth. When ...read more

    The Dark Night Of The Soul Series

    All people’s efforts to be right with God have failed, because people chose to exchange the truth about God for a lie. Their only hope is the Gospel of God’s grace.

    You’d have to say that there’s nothing pretty about the picture of the world that we find in this passage from Romans ch1. Here we take off the rose coloured glasses and look, with a degree of reality, at the world we live in. I was talking to someone the other day about watching television and ...read more

    How the Lord used the darkness of Good Friday as a witness to our salvation.

    March 24, 2005 Matthew 27:45 From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. Tonight’s service is called a service of darkness. It is a somber reminder of what happened to Jesus. As the service progresses, the lights eventually are dimmed until it becomes almost ...read more

    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

    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. Christian hope locks its steely eyes on the devastation of the world around it, and readily acknowledges that ...read more

    The Dark Night Of The Soul Series

    Contributed by Matthew Kratz on Apr 1, 2022
     | 3,036 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

    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

     | 11,701 views

    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

    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

    Paul sums up the doctrine of salvation in three great truths: 1) Inheritance (Colossians 1:12), 2) Deliverance (Colossians 1:13a), and 3) Transference (Colossians 1:13b-14).

    Of all the recent stories of people held captive, the one of U.S. Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, has been the most controversial. He told military doctors that his Taliban captors tortured him and kept him locked in a metal cage in total darkness for weeks at a time after he tried to escape. Bergdahl, now 28, ...read more
