LIGHT WORK

Let There Be | Let it Shine

This series comes just after celebrating Christmas in Winter. We will explore the nature of God and what it means for us to be the image of God in the world. We will focus in on God as creator and Jesus as life, and what it means for us as image bearers and the call to be light and to walk in the light.

Sunday August 2 – Let There be Light

Preacher: Stephen Baxter.

From Genesis 1: 1-5, we introduce the series and the significance of the “light” metaphor. God is the creator, the source of life and all that is good.

The entire service is available, below. It runs for 33 minutes.

Sunday August 9 – I Am the Light

Sunday August 16 – You Are the Light

Preacher: Michael Henderson

Sunday August 30 – Walking in the Light

Preacher: Scott Ambrose

From 1 John 1:5-2:2, we explore how walking in the light does not eliminate sin from our lives, but brings both the awareness of sin and the acknowledgement of God’s forgiveness, because Jesus died “for the sins of the whole world”.
