    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.

    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

    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

    We're the light of the world and children of light. Allow that light to shine brightly in our lives to light up those around us. Let’s expose their deeds as we seek to shine brightly for Jesus, so that they may be quickened and made light themselves.

    This is an image from my childhood that has just stuck with me. It’s from one of those movies that we used to watch over and over again, at least every holiday. It’s from the last of the original, and good, Star Wars movies. In my mind, it’s one of the pivotal scenes from the ...read more

    Spiritual Darkness comes in many forms. There is but one Light that can pierce the spiritual darkness of sin.

    Piercing The Darkness When Frank Peretti’s Piercing The Darkness hit the bookshelves, I became an instant fan. I bought every book that he wrote as fast as they came off the press.

    Hypocrisy And Darkness

     | 986 views

    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
