    Where does one find real and lasting joy? What about when bad things happen?

    Joy in the Darkness: 1 Peter 1:6-9 1 Peter 1:6 In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. 7 These have come so that your faith-- of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire-- may be proved genuine ...read more

    We must be careful whose image we reflect in our lives.

    DARKNESS AND LIGHT. 2 Corinthians 4:3-6. The Apostle Paul likens the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to a perfume, which to some people - “the saved” (2 Corinthians 2:15-16) - is a source of sweetness, light and life. To others - “the lost” (2 Corinthians 4:3) - it is the poignant poisonous ...read more

    A sermon for Epiphany Sunday.

    "Darkness and Light" Matthew 2:1-12 When you live in the city it can be easy to forget what it's like to get away from streetlights, big buildings, bright restaurant signs, car headlights, and all the rest.

    "A saint is a person who lets the light shine through."

    A young boy went with his parents touring around Europe one summer. Part of their tour included visits to the great old cathedrals of the past. As he visited each cathedral he was impressed by the massive stained glass portraits of the disciples and of other saints. He stood amazed, as the ...read more

    Good sermon for first Sunday of Advent -- lighting of Prophet Candle. The theme of light vs. darkness is woven throughout the Bible. This is what the coming of the Light marked in our world.

    A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS TEXT: Isaiah 9:2, John 8:12 There’s a fascinating recurring theme woven throughout the Bible. It’s the theme of light and darkness. We begin with darkness in only the second verse of the entire Bible. Genesis 1:2 says, “And the earth was without form, ...read more

    We have been brought out of darkness to show forth the glory of God.

    I opened the last chapter describing the watershed interaction between Jesus and his disciples, which culminated in Peter’s confession of Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God. In a similar manner God and his people, the Israelites, had a watershed experience in which their ...read more

     | 7,447 views

    Lives are at stake, both our neighbors and our own. In regard to our neighbors, we are either living as light before them and hopefully exposing for them their darkness, or we are keeping our light hidden and allowing them to wander in the darkness unawar

    Introduction In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the ...read more

    The light that you enjoyed during the day would continue with you during the quiet night as well, the confidence and joy you had during the day would be there with you through the night.

    This world can often be a very dark place - senseless acts of violence, hatred and abuse - selfishness, greed and anger in our own hearts and lives. A saving Light appears that brings genuine peace and lasting purpose. See how Jesus is a Light in the darkness of this world.

    What do you do when you walk into a dark room? You reach for the light switch, right? For many of us, it’s probably hard to imagine living without that little thing called “the lightbulb” – that little glass bulb that instantly dispels the darkness and brings light. Can you imagine experiencing ...read more

    The beautiful truth of Christ's mission is that God was not just content to contain darkness or to hold it at bay for a while. Instead, he pierced the heart of it and conquered it on our behalf.

    INTRODUCTION The passage just read is probably one of my favorite Christmas passages from one of my favorite books of the Bible. In fact, it is one of the reasons Isaiah has sometimes been called the “fifth gospel”, because between this, 7:14, 11:1-9, and chapter 53, we have an almost complete ...read more

    The birth of John, known as the Baptist, is the appropriate beginning of the story of the coming of the Christ to present His life as a sacrifice for sinful man.

And they were both righteous before God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and statutes of the Lord. But they ...read more
