    Light Series

    Contributed by Ken Henson on Oct 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,937 views

    Paul said “you ARE light”. Jesus said “you are the light of the world”. When we continue to behave like those who live in darkness, we are hiding the light that can transform the world. The only way to enlighten is to be light.

    Ephesians 5:8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather ...read more

    I relied heavily on SermonCentral contributor Larry Sarver's sermon "Defining Discipleship" for this lesson. I addressed the topic of Growing Deeper through Discipleship in two sermons.

    A. The story is told of a pig and a chicken who were walking down the road one day. 1. As they passed a church, they notice that a potluck charity breakfast was under way. 2. Caught up in the spirit, the pig suggested to the chicken that they each make a contribution. 3. “Great Idea!” ...read more

    April 28, 2002 -- 4th in a series on the Gospel of John. This sermon uses a word that might offend some -- some people even think of it as a "dirty word." Many think no Presbyterian would ever use this word, but statistics show Presbyterians do this as m

    This sermon teaches us the importance of allowing our faith to be stretched.

    Have you done anything in your faith walk recently that stretched you? We use the term “stretch” to refer to growth, development and learning.

    Forget about EVANGELISM -- we aren’t doing it anyway. Just think about inviting people to something joyful.

    I have been in the ministry for 26 years now, and I have preached a lot of sermons on Evangelism. What a waste of time. We don’t like to think about evangelism. We don’t like to do evangelism. We always want someone else to handle the evangelism programs in our churches. I’m not sure why ...read more
