Campbell River Baptist Church

Why does a good God allow a world that hurts so much? In this message, we will wrestle with one of life's most difficult questions, what Christians have long called the problem of evil. Ecclesiastes refuses to give easy answers to this problem (or question), and instead meets us in the tension between pain, humility, and hope. If you've ever struggled to understand suffering, injustice, or silence in the middle of prayer, you are not alone. Together, we will explore why our hearts long for justice, why our understanding is limited, and what God promises to do about evil.Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:1 ESV

In this message, we continue our series through Ecclesiastes with chapter 5, where the Teacher challenges us to worship with awareness and honesty. Too often, we go through the motions—singing, praying, listening—while our hearts are elsewhere. Solomon invites us to “guard our steps” when we approach God, not as a call to perfection, but as an encouragement to be fully present. Worship isn't just something we do on Sunday; it shapes the way we live all week, as we respond faithfully to God in our words, choices, and daily life. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 ESV

We live in a world more connected than ever, and yet many of us feel more alone than we would ever admit. Relationships are hard, exhausting, and costly, but the ache we feel without them is even heavier. In Ecclesiastes, Solomon reminds us that isolation is not freedom, it is loss, and that God has woven wisdom into friendship, marriage, and even singleness.This message explores why our culture trains us for convenience instead of intimacy, and how the gospel calls us back to something deeper. Whether you are married, single, lonely, or surrounded by people but still unseen, this sermon asks one simple question, who is walking with you when life gets hard? Discover how God meets us, and sustains us, through the gift of meaningful relationships.Scripture: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 ESV

Life promises satisfaction through money, success, and experiences, but why do so many people still feel empty after getting what they wanted? Ecclesiastes invites us to look honestly at the mirages we chase, and to ask what truly satisfies the human soul. What if the things on your bucket list were never meant to carry the weight of your heart? This message explores three common mirages that promise fulfillment, but quietly leave us thirsty for more. Solomon's wisdom helps us see how to enjoy life without being fooled by it. And ultimately, it points us to the only source of satisfaction that doesn't fade when we finally reach it.Scripture: Ecclesiastes 5:8-6:9 ESV

Time is always slipping through our fingers, no matter how tightly we try to hold it. In Ecclesiastes 3, we are invited to face the beauty and the ache of living in seasons we do not control. This message explores why joy never lasts as long as we want it to, why hardship feels endless when we are in it, and why our hearts keep longing for something more. You will be reminded that God is not trapped in time the way we are, but faithfully at work within every moment of our lives. From hourglasses to seasons, from joy and grief to love and loss, this sermon asks what it looks like to live wisely while the sand is still falling. If you have ever wondered whether your time, your season, or your life truly matters, this message is for you.Scripture: Ecclesiastes 3:1-15 ESV

Many of us are doing what we were taught to do—working hard, caring for family, serving faithfully, and trying to honour God. And yet, beneath the surface, there can be a quiet restlessness that won't go away. Life can still feel fragile, even when we're doing everything “right.”This Sunday in Ecclesiastes 2, we heard the honest voice of Scripture speaking into that tension. The Preacher reflects on a life fully invested in work, achievement, and enjoyment—and then asks the question we often avoid: What does it all finally amount to? Ecclesiastes doesn't rush to easy answers or shame our questions. Instead, it invites us to face the limits of what we build and to discover a deeper wisdom.Together, we explored why good things were never meant to carry the weight of ultimate meaning, and how God invites us to receive life—work, joy, and daily bread—as a gift from His hand. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:12-13; 2:1-11, 18-26 ESV

Ecclesiastes 1:15 tells us “What is crooked cannot be made straight, and what is lacking cannot be counted.” What do we do when everything we see around us seems broken? What do we do when death seems to make all of our efforts amount to nothing? Is there any hope for us? Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:12-18; 2:12-17, 24-26 ESV

Have you ever wondered if what you're doing with your life actually matters, or if it will all quietly fade away? Ecclesiastes dares to ask the questions we usually avoid, does my work last, do my efforts count, and why does life feel so fleeting?In this message, we'll hear from someone who had everything the world promises, wisdom, wealth, and success, and still asked, “Is this it?” Ecclesiastes doesn't tell us life is meaningless, it tells us life is brief, elusive, and impossible to control. And yet, right there, in a world that feels like vapor, we discover a wisdom that leads not to despair, but to hope. Because when Jesus enters our fleeting world, what is done in God's kingdom is never lost, even when it's forgotten on earth. Scripture: Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 ESV

As people today we love to anticipate. Christmas trickles into the stores in October, then floods into the stores after Halloween. Many of us had our trees up in November. Then when Christmas finally comes, it is a blur and then its gone. And we are onto the next season. There is a great verse in Luke's story of Christmas where he says: But Mary treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart.So, this week instead of anticipating the next season, we are going to join Mary in pondering about the Christmas story. What it was like for Mary, and what it means for us as we take down the lights and the tree and look forward to a new year.Scripture: Luke 2:16–19 ESV

On Christmas Eve, we celebrated the birth of Jesus and asked the question, "What does Jesus actually do for my problems?"

This Sunday we continued our Advent journey by reflecting on the candle of Love. Looking at Matthew 1, we were reminded that God's love is not distant or sentimental.God enters the messy places of our lives, just as He entered Joseph and Mary's story. We see how His love steps into our shame, acts with courage, and draws near to us in Jesus, our Immanuel.As we move toward Christmas, may we live as people who are loved: offering compassion, choosing courageous obedience, and being present with those around us. God is with us, right here, right now, and that changes everything.Scripture: Matthew 1:18–25 and John 3:16–18

How do we live as joyful people when life feels anything but joyful?This Sunday we will step into the shepherds' ordinary night in Luke 2 and discover why heaven announced “good news of great joy” to people who were exhausted and afraid. If you have ever felt overwhelmed, tired, or stuck riding the roller coaster of circumstances, this message is for you.Christmas is not about pretending everything is perfect, it is about a Savior who brings joy right into the middle of what is not. We will explore what joy really is, where it truly comes from, and how you can live with a joy that carries you through every season.Scripture: Luke 2:10-11

Through these Sundays before Christmas we are looking at the four candles of advent: hope, peace, joy, and love. This week we looked at peace and asked ourselves the question: How do we live as people of peace? In the Christmas story, angels came to some shepherds and said: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace”. I wonder if you are feeling at peace today or does peace seem in short supply lately? Join us as we will look at how we can find peace in the different aspects of our life.Scripture: Luke 2:13-14

This Sunday at we launched our new Advent series, “What Child Is This?” and asking a big question, how do we live as hopeful people? From Isaiah's promise that “the people walking in darkness have seen a great light,” we'll discover that Christian hope isn't wishful thinking, but a confident expectation that God will do what He has promised. We explored how hope wakes us up, prepares us for hardship, and trains us to live differently in the light of Christ's coming. Advent is more than counting down to Christmas, it's an invitation to wake up, clear space in our lives, and make room for the Child of Hope. Join us as we learn to wake up to hope, the King is near.Scripture: Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

What if your story is the very place Jesus wants to be seen? What if he has been walking beside you, even if you haven't recognized him? In Matthew 9, Jesus walks straight into the life of a man no one expected, Matthew the tax collector, and completely rewrites his future.This week, we are asking a simple but challenging question: How does your story reveal Jesus? Through friendship, hospitality, and ordinary tables, Jesus is still drawing people to Himself, often long before they ever walk into a church.Your story, your home, and even your interruptions may be the very place God wants to reveal His love.Scripture: Matthew 14:22–33

What if the storms in your life aren't signs that God has abandoned you, but invitations for your faith to grow? What if Jesus calls us into storms not to break us, but to deepen us?This Sunday we're looking at Peter's encounter with Jesus on the water, a story of courage, doubt, failure, and grace. It shows us that real discipleship isn't instant perfection, but a lifelong process shaped in the winds and waves. If you've ever wondered why faith feels hard, why doubt creeps in, or why storms seem relentless, this message is for you.Come discover how Jesus meets us, grows us, and reveals Himself most clearly in the very places we fear the most.Please pray for Pastor Steve and the team as they prepare for our service.

This Sunday in our Encounter series, Pastor Dayle looks at the story of the hated tax collector, Zacchaeus. In many ways, he is an unlikely person to be interested in Jesus, but he feels a deep inner prompting to check out what Jesus is about and Jesus responds with an invitation to an evening of good conversation.The story reminds us that both we and those around us often have deeper promptings to hear more about God than we can explain. Join us this Sunday morning for one of these conversations.

This Sunday in our Encounter series, Pastor Joshua pointed us to the transformative power of meeting Jesus, just as the man in John 9 experienced. Born blind, the man's first encounter with Jesus opened his eyes—literally and spiritually—moving him from darkness to light, from confusion to clarity, from fear to worship. His story reminds us that our trials are never wasted, our obedience matters even before we see the outcome, and our personal testimonies shine God's light into the world.As we approach the Lord's Table, let's remember the One who brings sight to the blind, faith to the weary, and light to every shadow: Jesus, the Light of the World. “Once I was blind, but now I see.”Scripture: John 9:1-41

What if the loudest storm in your life isn't outside you, but inside you, and it finally meets Someone stronger?This Sunday, we're stepping into Mark 5, where even demons bow and chains snap at the name of Jesus. If evil isolates, dehumanizes, torments, and enslaves, what could freedom look like for you, your family, your mind? We'll talk real spiritual battle, real authority in Christ, and practical ways to fight that actually work. And we won't stop at freedom for ourselves, we'll discover why freed people become rescuers.Scripture: Mark 5:1-20

What if comfort has become the greatest barrier to sharing the gospel?Jesus did not choose the easy road; He went through Samaria to meet one broken woman and offer her living water. In that encounter, we see the heart of a God who chose to depart from his own comfort to reach the lost. To live like Jesus, we must identify the idols that numb our hearts, resist the urge to stay safe, and defeat the comfort that keeps us silent. Only the Holy Spirit can give us true comfort that leads to life and satisfies the soul. When we step out of selfish comfort to share what we have, others will encounter Him through us.

This Thanksgiving Sunday, we will be exploring the next message in our “Encounter” series. Pastor Josh will unpack the story of the rich young ruler in Mark 10, a man who came running to Jesus, full of respect and moral devotion, yet walked away sorrowful because he couldn't let go of what held his heart.His story reminds us that “almost” isn't enough; following Jesus calls for wholehearted trust and surrender. It's a message of both challenge and hope: Jesus lovingly confronts what keeps us from Him and offers life that's impossible to earn but fully possible through God's grace.Scripture Mark 10:17-27

Is there something missing in your life today? Do you need a fresh start with God or maybe just a fresh touch of God's power? Or maybe you have a friend you would like to encounter Jesus face-to-face? This week, we look at a wild story about four guys who were determined to bring their friend to encounter Jesus, even if it meant destroying a house to do so. Unable to get close because of a crowd, the men got creative, making a man-sized opening in the roof above Jesus. As the paralyzed man came down on his bedroll, Jesus gave the man a fresh start, smiling at the faith and boldness of his friends.

Do you need a new start or something more? Most people know they need to change. We tell ourselves we need to stop losing our temper, quit the secret sins no one else knows about, or finally get our act together. But Jesus tells Nicodemus in John 3 that real change isn't about trying harder or cleaning yourself up. Real change comes from the Holy Spirit. It's not something you achieve; it's something you receive. In this passage, we'll see that change in Christ begins with new birth, is rooted in belief, and brings new life. The question is, have you experienced that kind of change, or are you still just trying to manage your sin on your own?Scripture: John 3:1-21

We all want to belong. But our culture tells us belonging comes from being liked, followed, or validated. Jesus flips that upside down in John 13, when He takes up the towel and washes His disciples' feet. He shows us that greatness isn't about climbing higher, it's about kneeling lower. In serving, we don't just help others; we encounter Jesus, we discover where we belong, and we realize God can even use us. This Sunday, we'll explore how serving moves us from attending to belonging, and from spectators to family.Scripture: John 13:12-15

Does encountering Jesus make a difference in my life? In your life? If so, what does that look like? Just look around. In our city, we see people battling addiction, struggling with homelessness, or searching for meaning in all the wrong places. Yet, Jesus could bring light into those very streets, restoring lives, healing hearts, and giving hope where it feels lost. As we will see, one encounter with Him can bring healing, purpose, and a brand-new start. Darkness doesn't get the last word; Jesus does.

What happens when you really encounter Jesus?This Sunday at CRBC, we kick off a new series called “Encounter” and we'll see how John the Baptist prepared people to meet the Messiah.His message wasn't polished or comfortable. It was urgent: “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”But repentance isn't about shame. It's about clearing the way for God to do something new in your life.We'll discover why Jesus stepped into the waters of baptism, what it means for us today, and how encountering Him changes our direction forever.Join us Sunday as we prepare the way for the King, because when you truly meet Jesus, you cannot stay the same.

What does a love that disciplines look like? As we wrap up our series in Hebrews, we close with a deep, honest look at what God's love for us truly entails. God is faithful to us, and His call on our lives moves us and conforms us into the image of Christ. Join us on Sunday as we look to uncover how God, in his love, corrects and shapes us, and what it means to be called children of God.

What keeps you going when the fog sets in and you can't see the finish line? As we wrap up Hebrews 11, Pastor Josh will take us from Jericho's falling walls to the quiet courage of saints who walked in obscurity—showing us that faith has two sides.Sometimes it conquers: prayers are answered, victories come, strongholds fall. Other times it endures: the answers don't come, the pain lingers, and the shoreline is hidden. But in every season, faith fixes its eyes on the unshakable promise of God.Whether you're in a chapter of breakthrough or in a long stretch of waiting, come and be reminded that the shoreline of God's promise never moves—and that one day, by victory or endurance, you will reach it

How does someone like Moses, an exiled murderer with a fear of public speaking, become the leader who confronts Pharaoh and sets a nation free? The book of Hebrews tells us, “He endured as seeing Him who is invisible.” In the wilderness, the life of Moses was interrupted by the holiness of God, a beauty both loving and terrifying, and it changed everything. His fear was recalibrated. He returned to the place of his greatest failure with a new courage. Are we walking past bushes on fire in our lives, and not seeing them? Do we dare seek God for the same kind of awakening?

What would you do if God asked you to give up what is most precious to you? In Genesis 22, Abraham is tested in an unimaginable way—asked to offer up his beloved son Isaac. This sermon explores the tension between loving the gift and loving the Giver, and how God's testing reveals our hearts. Through Abraham's obedience, we see a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate sacrifice and a call to examine what we place before God in our own lives. Are we willing to trust God's provision, even when it seems to cost us everything? Join us on Sunday as we reflect on faith, testing, and God's gracious substitution. Please pray for Pastor Dayle and the team as they prepare for our service.

How do you relate to the idea of home? Do you appreciate all that is special about it? Do you long to return when you are away? At times, our homes can leave us wanting something more, almost as though we are homesick for a place we have never been.Why do we sometimes feel like strangers in life? This week, we will look at what the book of Hebrews tells us about feeling "at home" in the world, and why the old-fashioned word pilgrim is maybe the best word to describe how we should see our lives in the world.Please pray for Pastor Dayle and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

Are you an expert in departure, always struggling to cultivate deep relationships? Or do you feel so afraid of making a mistake or being alone that you cannot take the first step? In the story of Abraham and Sarah, we see two opposing movements. We see a call to depart and also a call to be rooted. Is there some way we can navigate these seemingly opposite calls on our lives? The gracious call of Jesus to “follow me” comes to us as we are, today. His voice shows us we can depart. He also shows us where we are headed, toward far better things, while also being rooted in His unfailing love. The wilderness beyond the distractions of the city is a place of suffering, but also surprising joy, where we will find we are not alone, but surrounded by fellow travellers, the people of God. His promise, as we continue to trust, taking small steps forward, is to transform our pain into a place of healing, restoration, and new life. If you want to grow strong in character and soft in heart, this service is for you!

What does it really mean to live by faith — not just as an ideal or a theological concept, but in the real and often messy moments of everyday life? Faith isn't just for the mountaintop experiences or the pages of Scripture; it's meant to shape our choices, sustain us in uncertainty, and give us courage when the path ahead is unclear.This week, we'll explore Hebrews 11:4–7 and look closely at the lives of three flawed individuals — Abel, Enoch, and Noah. Each of them faced unique circumstances, yet all responded to God with extraordinary trust. Their stories remind us that faith is not passive; it's an active response to God's voice. It's saying yes to Him even when the world says no, even when we can't see the full picture.Living by faith doesn't mean having it all figured out. It means taking the next step, not based on what we see, but grounded in who God is and what He has promised. As a church may we be encouraged to trust God not just with our words, but with our lives.

What is faith? We talk so often about having faith, but what is it? How does it help us when we are struggling, discouraged? Is it like an ostrich sticking its head in the sand, a refusal to acknowledge your surroundings or a conflict? Is it an attempt to side-step hard things because “I have faith God will fix this”? What is the writer of Hebrews trying to help us understand about the nature of faith? What does it really do? How does it help us hold fast to who God is and what he has spoken to us through his word? 

Are you tired, overwhelmed, or running on empty? What if your constant hustle is actually stealing something sacred from you? In a culture that glorifies busyness, have you forgotten that God designed you for rest? This Sunday, we'll explore Genesis 2:2–3 and sabbath. We will look at how humanity was made to live in a rhythm of work and rest. Jesus doesn't just offer you a nap; He invites you into soul-deep rest and renewed intimacy (Matthew 11:29). Could it be that rest is not a reward for hard work but a calling to walk closely with Christ?

Ever feel like your job is just a means to an end, or worse, a necessary evil? This Sunday, we're asking a deeper question: What if work is actually a gift from God? We'll discover how we are designed to work, how sin has distorted our view of work, and how our work is meant to be an act of worship. We'll also explore the difference between selfish ambition and holy ambition, and how God can use our drive and desire for His glory and the good of others. Whether you're grinding through the 9 to 5, retired but restless, or chasing your next big dream, come and see what God really says about your work and purpose.

In a world where fatherhood is often misunderstood, minimized, or even mocked, what does it look like to reclaim God's original design? This Sunday, we'll explore how biblical fatherhood reflects the love, strength, and compassion of our Heavenly Father—and why it matters for every one of us, not just dads.Whether your experience with a father was marked by presence or pain, God meets us with healing and hope. We'll look at how fathers are called to lead with love, take up responsibility, and leave a lasting legacy of faith. And we'll be reminded that when earthly fathers fall short, God never does.Please pray for Pastor Josh and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

What does it mean to be human, and how do we discover who we really are? Are you tired of striving to prove your worth? What would it change if your identity were rooted not in performance, but in grace, and not in who you are, but in whose you are? In a world obsessed with self-expression, success, and image, many of us end up with a confused identity, chasing worth in places that leave us empty. This Sunday at CRBC, we'll explore how we lose ourselves (Identity Confused), how we can find lasting identity in Christ (Identity Found), and what it looks like to live from that truth every day (Identity Lived). Based on Jeremiah 2:13, we'll unpack how the “broken cisterns” of our culture fail to hold the weight of who we are meant to be.

What does it mean to be human when our bodies are breaking down? This Sunday, we'll explore what the Bible says about our physical bodies, not just now, but in light of eternity. In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reminds us that these fragile bodies are not the end of the story; we are designed for resurrection, not just decay. We'll discover how we already bear the image of the risen Jesus and what that means for how we live today. Whether you feel like a marathon runner or more like a worn-out recliner, this message will give you hope. Join us as we talk about how to live with the end in mind and why your body matters more than you think. What if your aging body is actually pointing you toward something eternal, not something to be ashamed of?

What does it mean to be human? Are we different than animals? Or plants? Is human life special? More valuable than animals? Should we treat people differently than we treat animals? And if so, why?These questions are at the heart of what it means to be human. The Bible tells us that God has made us special. It uses a phrase to sum this up. It says we are made in the image of God. But what does this mean? This Sunday, we'll explore how the fact that God has made us has tremendous implications for how we live and die, and how we should treat others. Join us as we discover why we are all special.

What does it mean to be human, in the way we think? God gave us minds not just to reason, invent, and imagine, but to know Him. Yet in a noisy world of lies, distractions, and distorted thinking, how do we renew our minds to reflect God's truth? This Sunday, we'll explore how the mind is both a gift and a battlefield—and how transformation begins with how we think. If you've ever wrestled with doubt, confusion, anxiety, or shame, this message is for you. Join us as we discover how to love God not just with our hearts—but with our minds.

What does it mean to be human in a world that seems to have forgotten? This week, we will examine how we were made in God's image, not just to exist but to reflect Him and participate in deep relationship. You were designed with dignity, purpose, and the capacity for real connection, with God and with others. But something went wrong, and that's why so many of us feel isolated, misunderstood, or invisible. This week, we're diving into the beauty of being made in God's image and the tragedy of what we've lost. Come explore how reclaiming God's design for humanity could transform your relationships and restore your soul.

The Lord's Supper isn't just a tradition—it's a personal encounter with Jesus. Like a family meal filled with love, laughter, and stories, Communion invites us to remember, belong, and hope. It's where we reflect on Christ's sacrifice, proclaim His victory, and renew our bond with Him.Before approaching the Table, Scripture calls us to examine our hearts. This isn't about perfection, but honesty. Confession opens the way to forgiveness. Readiness flows not from ritual, but from reverence.This meal revives weary hearts and reminds us: Jesus loves you deeply. His sacrifice wasn't generic—it was for you. And every time we partake, we look forward to the day we'll dine with Him forever.

This week in our sermon we are looking at what it means to get baptized. Some denominations sprinkle babies, some pour water over adults, some immerse people in a pool of water. Why do churches baptize in different ways? Is there a right way? Why do we baptize the way we do? Join us this Sunday as we explore these questions.

Everyone has an opinion about Jesus. Some say prophet, some say teacher, some say myth. But on Easter Sunday we're asking the most important question in history: Who is Jesus really? From the whispers of the crowd to the bold confession of the disciples to the thunderous announcement of the angel at the empty tomb, we'll explore three powerful perspectives that demand a response. This isn't just a question for history, it's the question that defines your future. Join us this Easter as we discover why the resurrection of Jesus changes everything.

What words do you live by? There are words that exist at the deepest level of each of us that drive us to get out of bed every morning, that cause us to act the way we do, and that motivate us to move in the direction we are heading in life. At the end of Christ's Sermon on the Mount, he challenges listeners to replace the words we live by with the words he speaks. He says if we're willing to live “these words” that our lives will not be shaken, even through life's storms. In Matthew 7:24-27 Christ concludes his sermon with a parable drawing from his profession as a carpenter. He assures us we can build an unshakable foundation for our lives on his words.

We are all on a path searching for belonging and meaning, but the question is, where are we going to find it? What is truly going to satisfy us, and are we looking in the right places? In Matthew 7:13-14, Jesus warns that many take the easy, wide road that leads to destruction, while few find the narrow path that leads to life. The difference is not just what we believe but how we live, the choices we make, and the voices we follow. Join us as we explore Jesus' call to walk the narrow way, reject false guidance, and find true belonging and fulfillment in Him.

Can you receive what you need from God? Do you ask once or twice and then give up? Or do you keep seeking until the door opens? This Sunday, we'll dive into Matthew 7:7-12, where Jesus invites us to ask, seek, and knock with persistence and faith, trusting that God hears and answers. We'll explore what it really means to pursue God with all our hearts, how our good Father delights in giving us what we truly need, and how we can receive His gifts with confidence. When we understand the power of bold, persistent prayer, we begin to experience God's provision and presence in life-changing ways. Don't miss this chance to discover how pressing in closer to God can transform your walk with Him!

Have you ever stepped on a scale that gave you the wrong number? Maybe it said you were lighter than you are—giving false confidence. Or maybe it made you heavier—leaving you discouraged. Jesus warns us about using a broken scale when we judge others—one clouded by hypocrisy, pride, and blind spots.But does that mean we should never judge at all? In Matthew 7, Jesus doesn't tell us to abandon judgment—He calls us to refine it. He invites us to examine ourselves first, to see clearly, and to discern rightly. This Sunday, join us as we explore what it means to judge with truth, humility, and wisdom—not with a broken scale, but with the heart of Christ.Please pray for Pastor Josh and the team as they prepare for the service. We are looking forward to what God is going to do this Sunday!

To see Jesus is to see the light of the world. To walk with him is to no longer walk in darkness. It is in this way that we become lights, illuminated by the Holy Spirit of God, who speaks the word of his law in our hearts. We, like lamps set on a lampstand, are to illuminate the whole of the world. Join us this Sunday as we encounter this light, receive him, and see how we can let the light he has given us shine more brightly.
