    This sermon explores the seven ways Jesus, as the Light of the World, enriches our lives.

    Technology has advanced rapidly in the past century, and we often take for granted the conveniences it brings. One such technology is electric lighting, which has transformed our daily lives.

    We cannot let the rhetoric of racial division, prejudicial chaos, and religious rhetoric continue. We must give unto Ceasar the political system what is theirs and give to God what belongs to Him and that is our hearts, our souls, our minds.

    Judah in Jeremiah’s time was treacherous and idolatrous. Their LORD was rejected which is still the case today. HOWEVER Israel's future restoration will be marvellous, when in shame and contrition the nation returns to God . These verses at the end of Chapter 3 cover that glorious time.

    For Israel, “the exile had become not only their physical but national burial site. Their hopes, dreams, glories, and nationalism had been entombed in an alien land.” The question for a dying nation: “Can These Bones Live?”

    Why Light Doesn’t Always Lead To Sight Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025
     | 389 views

    John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

    One of the biggest challenges for the early Christian leaders was how many Jews were rejecting Jesus. The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more
