In this week’s message, “Light Up the Night,” Pastor Dakota takes us to Matthew 9 to remind us of the hope we have in Jesus—the true Light of the world. Using a vivid story from his childhood on the bayou, Dakota paints a powerful picture of what it means to live in darkness without Christ.

Just as a flashlight brings clarity and direction in a blackout, Jesus brings life, purpose, and peace to a world lost in spiritual darkness. Without Him, people may appear to have it all together, yet remain separated from the God who loves them most. This message challenges us to see our world through God’s eyes and to carry His light to those still stumbling in the dark. Tune in and be inspired to let your light shine where it’s needed most.
