God Speaks Into Our Darkness

Contributed by Martin Ellgar on Dec 15, 2014

A perspective on John 8: 12. To live in hope can inversely imply that there is darkness in a person’s life. It reveals a need for a saviour who can speak into that darkness and bring forth light and life.

Thanks For The Memories Series

Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 15, 2020

Without God’s Light, without the promise of God’s love, Scrooge was doomed … and so are we! It is God’s love and judgment that are bringing Scrooge into the light so that he can repent and get on track to a better life … the life that God intended for him and not the one that he made for himself.

Ah … remember good Ol’ Jacob Marley from last week? How he appeared in his pigtails, usual waist-coat, tights, and boots? He also sported a huge chain “clasped about his middle … and wound about him like a tail … made of cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds, and heavy purses wrought in ...read more

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Dec 20, 2021

In John's prologue, he presents the Lord Jesus Christ as God the Creator who came into the world to be among us and is due all majesty, glory, and splendor.

Why Did God Send Jesus? (John 2:23-3:21) Series
