Message Notes

Luke 1:78-79
Through the bottomless mercy of our God, one born on high will visit us to give light to those who walk in darkness, who live in the shadow of death; to lead our feet in the path of peace. 

John 8:12
Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I AM the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Genesis 1:1-3
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was formless and empty, and darkness covered the deep waters. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.

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

Genesis 1:14-18
Then God said, “Let lights appear in the sky to separate the day from the night. Let them be signs to mark the seasons, days, and years.  Let these lights in the sky shine down on the earth.” And that is what happened. God made two great lights—the larger one to govern the day, and the smaller one to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set these lights in the sky to light the earth, to govern the day and night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

Revelation 22:5
And there will be no night there—no need for lamps or sun—for the Lord God will shine on them

The Light forms us.

James 5:16
Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.

The Light fills us.

Matthew 5:14
YOU are the light of the world.”

Matthew 5:14-16
“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.

John 12:35-36
Jesus replied, “My light will shine for you just a little longer. Walk in the light while you can, so the darkness will not overtake you. Those who walk in the darkness cannot see where they are going. Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.”
