    This message is part of a series from the Sermon Series Kits offered on sermoncentral.com I have used the outline and added my own illustrations, application and thoughts as led by the Holy Spirit.

    Many people have a fear of the dark. I don't like darkness. I had to come over to the church late at night. I made my daughter come with me. I was not going into a dark building alone. Today we begin a new series "Glow in the Dark." It's no secret our world is living in ...read more

    46th in a series from Ephesians. A wake up call to Christians to be light in a dark world.

    We are called to be the salt and light of the world.

    These two examples Jesus uses may seem insignificant now, but in the first century salt and light was very valuable. In the Roman market place salt was even used at times as money and without electricity light was a valuable asset at night. Today we often take these two things for granted. What ...read more

    Reading Light, Leading Light Series

     | 1,145 views

    People see the world from different angles. I’d like to suggest that the Holy Spirit gives us Christ’s perspective. We need to start seeing the world through Christ-colored glasses, which is not the same as rose-colored glasses. Jesus saw compassionately, but he also saw clearly and realistically.

    How many of you own a flashlight? I probably have half a dozen, and most of them have dead batteries in them. I’d be lost without the flashlight app on my smart phone, because it’s always charged. It works. It helps me see where I’m going. It is, to use Jesus’ word, healthy. I think you can all ...read more

    Matthew 5:13-20 Unlike some scripture that strikes fear in preachers' hearts, this scripture has way too many topics that someone could use.
