“Light” in the New Testament represents Righteousness. And while God is certainly Light by His very nature, so is the believer! The world’s only view into the life of God in you is how you live your life. It makes sense, then, to show a life of love to everyone around you, demonstrating how great God’s love is to them!

Jesus is the name God gave to the Messiah, making His name higher than any created being in the universe. Knowing His name, and the life that comes with it, is all we need to navigate this imperfect world. It’s because of what Jesus did in making us righteous that we have confidence to work out our salvation!

The real prize in the believer’s life is not how stuff they accumulate. It’s how well you reflected the mind of Christ. How did you show humility and servitude? This is what Christ came to demonstrate and we should gladly carry His legacy of love to the world!

Life isn’t always predictable. Don’t take the pressure of knowing the exact steps to take all along the way. Instead, have dreams, make plans, and regardless of what happens next, enjoy the journey!

Communion is a solemn remembrance of Jesus death. It’s a reminder of the price that was owed by me and paid by Him. It’s a moment to exalt the sacrifice, causing thanksgiving to rise in my heart for what’s been given – the forgiveness of sins!

The birth of Jesus is the first light we have confirming the eternal light of life has arrived from Heaven. Through Christ God brought an end to the first covenant of righteousness by the sacrifice of animals, replacing it with righteousness by the obedience of Christ!

Your old man has died, meaning you took up your cross and followed Jesus to crucifixion. You used to be a slave to sin’s passions and desires. Because you were resurrected with Jesus, you are now alive to God. He is your master, and you live TO righteousness, peace and joy!

This New Covenant brings a promise of oneness with God. Our spirit has been united to His, inseparable and indistinguishable from each other. Because of what Jesus did, you and God have been made one!

Knowing what Jesus has done for you, by His Grace, is the strength you need while going through life. Because of Jesus, you can keep your head up in all of life’s good and bad times - He is your strength!
