I am the light

​God is continually drawing more people to himself and he wants to use us for this purpose.

It's delightful to see so many new faces among us each week. I want all newcomers to return and find a place of belonging among us, so please make sure you go out of your way to make them feel extra welcome. It's up to all of us! Thank you for your partnership in the gospel.

Last Sunday, Amy kicked of our new "I am" series with a great sermon which is online if you missed it. This Sunday Libby will preach on the second of Jesus "I am" sayings in the book of John; "I am the light of the world" (study notes are available). 

In declaring Himself to be the Light of the world, Jesus was claiming that He is the source of spiritual light. He said, "Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but have the light of life.’” This metaphor speaks of the light of His Truth, the light of His Word, the light of eternal Life which he offers to all people.

Sadly, many choose to reject it. Some prefer the darkness and won't come into the light because they don't want their evil deeds to be exposed. But we are called to live as people of light, who let the Light of Jesus Christ into our hearts, minds, and lives so he can dispel any darkness and make our lives shine brightly for Him. The gospel Light we have is not to be covered. It's to be made obvious for all to see and benefit from, that they, too, may leave the darkness and come into the Light. May He draw many others to himself though our "Shiny" witness.

Jesus said about us (His followers), "You are the light of the world". Let's live like it today and always.

Light and love,

Reverend Tanya Cummings
