    God In The Dark

     | 5,316 views

    Where was God when Jesus was crucified? The divine mystery is that God provided Himself as a sacrifice for sinful man. We are humbled by this knowledge, and eternally blessed.

    “From the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ that is, ‘My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?’ And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, ‘This man is calling ...read more

    Blinded By Darkness

    Contributed by Mike Reed on Jul 4, 2014
     | 9,482 views

    We commonly associate temporary blindness with bright light, such as looking directly into the sun. It seems strange, then, to read a scripture which tells us that we can be blinded by the darkness! Darkness makes the eyes more alert, more receptive.

    “BLINDED BY DARKNESS” Rev. Mike Reed, Winter Haven, Florida March 2014 1 John 2:9-11 1 John 2:14 Psalm 112:4 Proverbs 4:18-20 John 8:12 Luke 11:34-35 Psalm 18:28 1 Peter 2:9-10 1 John 2:9-11, 14 (New Living Translation) 9 If anyone claims, “I am living in the light,” but ...read more

    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

    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. I was out in the country a year or so ago, and we were getting ready to have a bon ...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

    A message that deals with the pull and the destruction of sin in a life.

    THE DARKNESS OF SIN TEXT: Exodus 1:8-11 Exodus 1:8-11 KJV Now there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.

    "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

    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

    INVISIBLE… There’s more to life than what you see. The invisible is all around us. What we can’t see physically is real. As a matter of fact often more real, more substantive than what we can actually see.

    This is from a transcript of a sermon preached by Dr. Jack Graham on September 18, 2011 We got back from Israel this past week, about 15 of us, including 10 of our young ministers. We had an incredible time walking where Jesus walked and experiencing those sights once again. I’ve been to ...read more

    Hypocrisy And Darkness

    This epistle delves into chapter six of Matthew. There he provides a first-hand report of Jesus speaking and His words cast Christian reflections against the dark shadows of hypocrisy.

    As recorded by Luke in chapter 12, Jesus began to speak to His disciples first of all, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard ...read more
