132 Light in the Lord


Listen Later

“For you were once darkness, but now, you are light in the Lord.”


In today’s episode, Jen Denton and pastor Jeff Cranston discuss what it means to be light in the Lord, and how we are no longer in total darkness but still have much darkness due to our sinful nature. Thanks to Christ, we now know more about God and his plan for us. We are called to walk in the light and enlighten others as to what is true.


Tune in and live as children of light!
