Light Series

Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 1, 2016

Paul said “you ARE light”. Jesus said “you are the light of the world”. When we continue to behave like those who live in darkness, we are hiding the light that can transform the world. The only way to enlighten is to be light.

If Jesus Isn't In Church You Go Home With Your Demons

Contributed by Aaron Holbrough on Feb 12, 2013
