    A short sermon aimed mainly at a large group of ’not-yet’ Christians coming on a Sunday morning. Israel was called to be salt and light but made a hash of it. Jesus was, and still is salt and light, and calls us to be salt and light.

    Living As Children Of Light Series

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Mar 27, 2011
     | 7,036 views

    Using 2 video clips I begin by encouraging people to turn to Christ if they haven’t yet. Then I unpack this passage as to what it means to live as children of light, full of forgiveness, avoiding even a hint or a whiff of impurity.

    (Note to the reader: I began this talk by showing a video called Ribbons, available from PremierTV2006: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9K86vcHOLI. It shows how Jesus took upon himself the penalty for sin and all that binds us; see 1 Peter 2: 24-25.) ‘[Jesus the Messiah] himself bore our sins in ...read more

    There are three people from whom we cannot hide if we are to mature as Christians: God, ourselves, and our brothers and sisters in Christ.

    When I was in high school we got a little orange cat from the pound. We named him Kumquat because he was such a very small orange; he fit in the palm of your hand. He didn’t stay that way, though. He grew. But he never figured it out. He had formed the habit of sleeping on the round needlepoint ...read more

    My relationship to God is more than and deeper than all of the elements of religion together. In fact, religion can get in my way of really knowing God.

    Marriage is not ultimate; it’s just a symbol of something ultimate.

    We’ll start at end where Paul sums up his teaching on marriage 31 “Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” 32 This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church. ...read more
