    Do we focus on godly things or do we allow darkness to creep into our lives?

    Many of you know the tragedy that happened early Friday morning when a 24 year old man went on a shooting spree in a theater full of people watching the opening of the Batman movie. 12 innocent people were killed and many were injured including many children!

    At Cadillac Mountain, dawn hits that ridge before the rest of the country. Isaiah 9 speaks to a people in predawn darkness and promises a light that breaks in. Advent says that light has a name, Jesus, and His coming turns yokes into freedom, fear into joy, and night into morning.

    You know, I recently had the chance to take a trip to Acadia National Park in Maine. And there's this place there, Cadillac Mountain in Acadia National Park - where you can be the first person in America to see the sunrise. Imagine that. Wouldn’t that be cool to be able to say that you were one ...read more

    Jesus wants us to be people who bring light into the world. To do this, we need to be careful about what we allow into our hearts and minds. The things we see and focus on can either bring light or darkness into our lives.

    Our eyes play a big role in shaping our desires and actions. Jesus talks about this when he addresses the sin of adultery. He emphasizes the importance of where we look, as it can lead us down a path of darkness. Often, temptation starts with a glance, but if we're not careful, it can turn into ...read more

    In Jesus we find life and light. Light reveals what's in the darkness. And we are to be the light of the world so people would be drawn to Jesus and find life through him.

    The light of God’s wonder and glory is there, but they have covered themselves with darkness and never really know the glory and joy of God’s salvation. But is even worse if the person is a Christian and still lives in darkness.

    As the Light of the World Jesus takes us out of darkness and worldliness. Darkness and worldliness does not come because we are the worst we can be; it comes because we are following the distraction of Satan who masquerades as an angel of light.

    Message John 8:12 I Am The Light of the World When Jesus describes Himself as The Light we can quickly understand the significance of the metaphor. Light gives direction. Light pierces the darkness. Light takes away fear, uncertainty, and hesitancy. Light reveals truth. We get the metaphor. Those ...read more
