Focus Scriptures // Isaiah 9:2, 6-7 (ESV) "2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."

John 1:4-5, 9-12 (ESV)
"4 In him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 9 The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. 11 He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. 12 But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God,"

Sermon Highlights

Darkness dispels when God enters in because He is the light of the world

If you walk with Him, you'll no longer walk in darkness

Light gives LIFE

Before God created anything else, He said: "let there be light"

You were created not just to be physically alive, but to be spiritually alive

Light always shows us the TRUTH

You only really know where things are when the lights are on

When you go to God's Word, the truth will be revealed to you

Light reveals THE WAY

Jesus is the light that reveals the way

What makes the journey worth-while is when you arrive at the destination

He steps into our darkest places and brings the light with Him
