Into The Darkness Has Come A Great Light

Into The Darkness Has Come A Great Light

Darkness hates the light.

If you turn on the lights in a dark room, everything becomes visible. That’s what light does – it reveals things. With that said, when Jesus Christ (the light of the world) came into this world, the world rejected Him. The world did not want the light that He brought. In today’s sermon from Matthew 4, we’ll consider some of the reasons why.

Running The Race (Hebrews 12)

In this excellent sermon from Hebrews 12, Rev. Gardner Fish talks about what it means to “run the race” of faith.”Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” – Hebrews 12:1-2

Stand Up And Speak Out (A Call To Courage)

The Gospel is NOT toothless. The Gospel is NOT weak. In Scripture, we see that the Gospel is the “power of God” unto salvation. We should treat it that way – as a lion to be let out, not as something to hide, package or subjugate. Just preach it!
