Finding the Light - John Van Sloten

In this message we’re going to talk about the light of God and how it shines on all of us.

“God said, “Let there be light,”
and there was light.”
Genesis 1:3, NIV

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.”
Isaiah 9:2, NIV

“For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord (your light). Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. It is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible—and everything that is illuminated becomes a light. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Ephesians 5:8-14, NIV

“I am the light of the world.”
John 9:5, NIV

“Let the light of your face shine on us”
Psalm 4:6, NIV
