Being Light Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 14, 2023

The Beatitudes teach the qualities that God works in the character of Christ's disciples. Then in Matthew 5:13-16 the emphasis turns to the influence Christians are to have in the world around them. The point of our text is that we let our light shine.

Encountering Jesus Series

Contributed by Brian Williams on Dec 18, 2022

John 1:1-5 sets the stage for the rest of gospel - we get to see the Son of God, the Messiah in every story, every place, every circumstance and with every person. This is what John wants the reader to experience in their own lives, to encounter Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah.
