“JESUS: Light of the World”The 19th-century English preacher, William Lonsdale Watkinson, once said, “It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness.” It is easy today to curse the darkness, since there is so much of it and we get tired of being engulfed by it. But Watkinson was right. Jesus came into this world of darkness as the LIGHT (John 1:4–5). Only He can dispel the darkness of the world. And yet this Light of the World, who resides within each of us as His followers, calls us to shine as His lights in this world (Matthew 5:16). We can either curse the darkness or share the light of Christ with someone and, by doing so, see another candle lit to dispel the darkness. This Christmas, as we celebrate the Light of the world, let's remember our calling to share that light with someone else rather than curse the darkness around us. 

The talk from our midweek service on Wednesday 17th December 2025

In this message, we see Jesus as the eternal Word who became flesh to bring life, light, grace, and truth that transform those who receive Him into children of God.

The Light: John 1:6-13 (Nate Edmondson) by Highlands Community Church

John 1:5–13 confronts us with Jesus as the true Light of the world and the darkness that resists Him. It raises questions about why unbelief persists and what it means to receive Christ, while also revealing a profound truth about Christ's identity and who we become through Him. Reflecting on this passage presses us to consider our response to Jesus as the true Light and to God as our Father.

Title: Responding to the LightSpeaker: Nate HoldridgeOverview: In this message on John 1:9–13, Pastor Nate Holdridge continues our series, Light in the Darkness, by examining the pivotal response humanity must make to the coming of Christ. We explore the profound tragedy of those who reject their Maker and the surpassing treasure found by those who receive Him. We unpack the theology of regeneration and the incredible privilege of being given the right to become children of God, inviting us to see the Incarnation not just as a historical event, but as a personal invitation to a new life and eternal identity.Link to Sermon Notes

Year after year people everywhere expect to experience the joy and wonder of Christmas through the gifts, gatherings, traditions and twinkling lights. But what if this Christmas meant something more? According to John's Gospel, the birth of Jesus was a historical event of cosmic proportions. That's because Jesus was no ordinary child. He is Immanuel – the eternal God with us - the fulfillment of ancient prophecies, and the true Light for all mankind. From the very beginning, he was, is, and will always be our only Savior. So how would this Christmas be different if - instead of presents and parties - we chose to be wrapped up in the awe and wonder of almighty God coming to Earth so you can be reborn, fully forgiven, and truly loved by our heavenly Father? Join us this December at The Story, as we begin our journey through the Gospel of John and encounter the true meaning of Christmas: The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son… full of grace and truth. - John 1:14

Title: Those Walking in Darkness Have Seen a Great LightPreacher: Denny BurkSeries: JohnPassage: John 9:1–7

Jesus came as light because the world is in darkness. Humanity is in hiding in rebellion against God, but the light has come. Darkness is not inevitable. Cynicism is not final. Anyone who believes in Jesus is rescued from darkness.

This excerpt from a sermon delivered at ColonialKC Church details the history and current work of Elam Ministries, which was co-founded in 1990 to spread Christianity in Iran. The speaker recounts how the ministry grew from a small prayer meeting in 1955, spurred by the Islamic Revolution in 1979 which forced missionaries out of Iran. Despite facing pain and persecution, the ministry focuses on training Iranian leaders, translating and distributing scriptures, and planting house churches, resulting in one of the world's fastest-growing Christian populations—from an estimated 500 Christians of Muslim background in 1979 to over a million today. The message centers on bearing witness to the light of Jesus Christ, which involves sharing a personal encounter with Christ, suffering for one's faith, and being visibly transformed by that faith, illustrating this transformation through several personal testimonies.Support the showThanks for listening!

Why does the darkness of sin reject the light of truth? Sin hates being exposed by the truth. In this sermon from the Gospel of John, we find a second name for Jesus: The Light. He overcomes the darkness of sin. He has been rejected by many for centuries, but all who believe in Him become children of God who experience the true light of life.
