    Today… just want to step back and help us grasp the process of being light. I think for many of us it may begin by clarifying the paradigm.

    We’re beginning a short series today… and at the heart of this series is a call to consider perhaps the most sensational words ever spoken to us… one phrase, seven words, spoken by Jesus… that lifts our lives into a whole new level of meaning… those seven words… “You are the light of the ...read more

It’s our ultimate protection against the rain of evil and sin that falls on us. If we place the ...read more
