Discover light in a dark, heavy world: the Myth of Messiah with Guest Speaker Bronwyn Spilsbury

Discover light in a dark, heavy world: the Myth of Messiah with Guest Speaker Bronwyn Spilsbury “Light” in Genesis-Revelation God shows us the pattern of light in the Bible and invites us to join Jesus on a shining path.  What will it take, and who can find it?  Is it even real?   This Sunday, we’ll look at Light in Scripture.  We’ll find God's pattern and see the path. So that when it's dark and heavy all around, we’ll know how to walk forward.  We’ll also discover the meaning and message of “Messiah” and we will have a choice, as Jesus did, to be the light of the world. Are you ready? Pastor Bronwyn Spilsbury is an explorer, storyteller, teacher, and leader who served as a pastor for more than 20 years. She leads groups on pilgrimage to Bible lands to experience God's life and history with His people. Bronwyn looks forward to sharing insight and delight in God's Word and Presence with our community.  For reflection & discussion: Comment on the pattern of God's light in Scripture. Does it seem to have a progression? What does that mean for us? Can you think of other Scripture that shows God bringing light to humanity? What difference did it make?  What words characterize God's light, with examples? (peaceful, creative, disruptive, pure, purposeful, expansive...) What does "Messiah" mean, and what are 3 blessings from the Messiah's obedience, from the message?  What does our collective name of "Christian" mean? How does it call us to be light, and what could result?   What do you find most dark in the world? What prayer, pattern, or path of light can you embrace?
