My 6/14/15 sermon, Walking in the Light from 1 John 1:5-7, is now online. The sermon helped show what it means that God is Light and from there, pointed to how we respond, either with saying something more than is true or actually living accordingly. I’m hoping it serves you well. If you’d like Small Group Questions to go along with it, they are available too.
Weekend Recap – 12/11/11
After fighting off the flu all day Saturday, God seemed to smile upon me and I was able to fulfill all my “pastoral duties” on Sunday. So, the sermon from 12/11/11AM is now online. It was entitled True Light from John 1:9-10. Specifically, it focused on how Jesus the True Light of the world entered the world, demanded a response and was rejected by the world. I think this gives us confidence in taking our witness to the world and encouragement in awing the Savior this holiday season.
All the items up for affirmation at our church’s Annual Meeting passed as well, which means we are bringing David Lansdowne back on as a lay elder and Cameron Wood will enjoy his first term as a deacon. The 2012 Budget was also affirmed. Exciting stuff.
In the PM we had one small group to unite them all (meaning all the small groups came together at church) for a holiday party. We enjoyed fun, fellowship and food.
Hope you had a great Lord’s day and continue to awe your Savior this holiday season.
True Light – Weekend Preview 12/11/11
This coming Lord’s Day, 12/11, we hope to continue our movement toward Christmas by celebrating Advent Week #3. Our text will be John 1:9-10, which speaks of Jesus being the true light and one who must be responded to. What do you think of Jesus? Who do you say that He is?
I think Charles Simeon said it best when he asked these two questions about Jesus the True Light:
1) What light have you received from the Lord Jesus Christ?
2) How far are you reflecting this light to those around you?
Think on this and come expecting God to be glorified in our corporate worship this coming Lord’s Day.
