“Advent is a special time when we anticipate our favorite stories about Jesus’ birth, but if we do it right, it’s also a time when we look at ourselves and our world and decide we shouldn’t be comfortable. We shouldn’t be comfortable that people are starving a stone’s throw away and that their starvation will last long past the holiday season when people are feeling generous with canned goods.“
– Pastor Cory Hartz
Jesus came to be THE LIGHT in the darkness
Week 1 – The Light gives us hope
Week 2 – The Light came to bring us new life
Today – The Light is meant to be shared with others
How much light are we reflecting?
The reason for our lights is for others to experience, to see the joy we have in our hearts!
THE PURPOSE OF OUR LIGHT
Good works
In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds… Matthew 5:16a
Glorifying God
… and glorify your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16b
To show the way to salvation through Jesus
John 1:6-7
How can you be a light for everyone this Christmas? And every other day?
Church 29:11
