Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled THE HOLY SPIRIT; THE SOURCE OF SPIRITUAL LIGHT (John 16:1-14) by Rev. Tom Otieno from the Mid-Week Service on Wed. 26th March 2025 from the Prayer Conference 2025
New Horizons and fresh starts begin as Light pierces the darkness. --- What does the Bible tell us about navigating new horizons and fresh starts? Using the Conquest of Canaan as our narrative guide, this series will help us see how Joshua and the Israelites looked to God to lead them into the Promised Land, and we'll also see the principles God gave them that will still work well for us today.

In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. – John 1:4
The Incarnation is one of the greatest beauties and mysteries in the Christian faith. In today's sermon, we look at the end of John's prologue to discover what the Incarnation tells us about who God is, what we need, and why Jesus was sent.
The Coming of the Logos, Life, and Light John 1:1-5, 10-14, 17-18

We invite you to utilize the Growth Guide during the week to further your application of the Truth from the message.•. Monday - Luke 1•. Tuesday - Luke 2•. Wednesday - Matthew 1•. Thursday - Matthew 2•. Friday - John 1Discussion Questions 1. What are some examples of light we experience in our lives? For example, what are some examples of light we need or enjoy? What are some examples of references to light in music or movies? 2. Read John 1:6-13. Jesus is described as the true light (1:9). What does it mean that Jesus is the light? 3. John references John the Baptist at the beginning and throughout the chapter (see 1:6-8 and 1:19-42). Why do you think he gives so much attention to him?4. One reason John the Baptist is introduced is because his life is an example of the type of conflict that surrounds Jesus. What are some other examples of conflict we see throughout Jesus' life? Why is there so much conflict surrounding Jesus? 5. Why would it be foolish to conclude that Jesus is merely a “nice person?” What are some reasons that we can't respond to Jesus merely in a neutral way?6. John 1:10-11 addresses the irony and tragedy of a world that doesn't know its Creator. What are some examples that reveal the world does not know its Creator? What are some examples of how you tend to ignore your Creator and His good ways in your life?7. According to John 1:12, how should we respond to Jesus? What does it mean to receive Him and believe? What benefits do we experience when we receive Him and believe?8. Believing in Jesus involves humility. Why? What are some ways/reasons it can be difficult for you to accept God's gracious gift? How can you address these challenges so you experience all the benefits of His gift to us in Christ?Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Arain in PakistanThe Arain people, historically farmers, have risen to prominence in Pakistan as influential leaders in politics, law, and other fields. They are predominantly Sunni Muslims, though small numbers practice Sikhism or Hinduism, depending on their location. Less than 0.1% of the 11.5 million Arain identify as Christians, and no known Jesus movement exists among them. An estimated 230 workers are needed to share the Gospel with this group. Pray for the Holy Spirit to touch their hearts through dreams, visions, and Scripture in their many languages and for them to see past Western Christianity to the true message of Jesus. Pray that Arain leaders in government and business boldly share the truth of Jesus, and that families find salvation and spread His blessings throughout their communities.Fellowship 101 We invite you to join us on Sunday, January 12, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

December 15, 2024 The Word Became Flesh: The Logos and Light John 1:3-8 Pastor Jim Rutherford
John continues his prologue with a further description of the light and his mission in the world. In today's passage, John offers his readers an encouragement, a warning, and invitation to consider as they look to the light.

Thursday - John 13-16•. Friday - John 17-21Home Church Questions1. Have someone read John 1:1-5. What are some of the similarities between the way John begins his Gospel and the way Genesis begins? Why does John make these connections?2. John's Gospel is unique from the other three Gospels. For example, we learn the Christmas story begins before creation (because the Son was present at creation). Why is it important for us to consider that the Christmas story begins before creation?3. If we believe Jesus is truly God, this should make other teachings in the Bible simpler to embrace. What are some teachings in the Bible that become less challenging when we realize Jesus is God?4. Who is an example of a person you have wanted to meet in your life? Why should it excite us that God wants to be known by us? What should we do if we don't value that He wants to be known by us?5. Jesus is the light, and we need the light because we are in darkness. What are some examples of darkness we experience in our lives and in our world? What does it look like for Jesus to be the light in our darkness?6. J.I. Packer suggests we should view the Incarnation “not simply as a marvel of nature, but rather as a wonder of grace.” What is the reason Jesus was born as one of us? Why is it important we consider why he was born as we celebrate Christmas?7. When we believe Jesus is the Word and the light Who has come into the world for us, it should give us great confidence that the darkness will not overcome the light (1:5). What are some specific ways you can be encouraged in your life right now knowing the darkness will not overcome the light? Mission Highlight - Pray for the Unreached: The Karma in IndiaThe Kurmi, renowned for their agricultural skills in northern India, are classified as an Other Backward Class (OBC). This refers to communities that are “educationally or socially backward” or disadvantaged. Less than 0.1% of the 22 million Karma in India are Christian. An estimated 453 workers are needed to share the gospel among these peoples. Many Kurmi are resistant to the Gospel, fearing it might alienate their children from family traditions. Pray for miracles and dreams to reveal Jesus' power, for believers to live out Christ's teachings, and for Scripture to inspire Kurmi families to embrace salvation and share it with others.Fellowship 101We invite you to join us on Sunday, January 12, at 9:00 a.m. to learn more about Fellowship.

John Vitz from Angelus Music provides the sacred music on today's episode of Morning Light.
In the middle of his prologue, John takes a few verses to introduce John the Baptist, who came as a witness to the light. In today's sermon, we consider who John was and how he helps us to see who Jesus is.
The world responds to the coming of Jesus. It's not good.

Jesus Fulfills Psalm 119 Psalm 119 and Jesus General Pictures: Jesus as the Word- While there are 177 synonyms for God's law, word found in Psalm 119. Jesus is the ultimate embodiment of Word. The Word has become flesh and dwelt among us- John 1:1-14He does things Psalm 119 attributes to the Word. The Word gives light in 119:105, 130 and Jesus is the Light- John 8:12; 9:5.Jesus fulfills the picture of the Psalmist trusting God, His word, and seeking to follow Him.See the comments below about the Servant beginning with Psalm 119:17. Jesus fulfills the picture of the God in whom the Psalmist trusts. See the comments about God teaching in 119:12. Jesus is Creator and Sustainer of our world as God is said to be in 119:89-91 (John 1:1-3; Col. 1:15-17).The Ministry of Jesus and His fulfillment of Psalm 119Most of these passages and their fulfillment in Jesus are described more completely in the passages below. In the temple at 12- Luke 2:47 and context when Jesus was in the temple at 12 and all were amazed at His understanding fulfills Psalm 119:99-100. In the temptation- Matt. 4:1-11 and Luke 4:1-13 Jesus resisted temptation by appealing to the Word of God and fulfills Psalm 119:11, 101. In prayer- Mark 1:35 Jesus rose a great while before day and prayed like we read in Psalm 119:147. Luke 6:12 Jesus prayed all night before choosing the apostles and that type of thing is mentioned in Psalm 119:62. In His miracles- In Psalm 119:29, 58, 132 the psalmist's cry to God be gracious to Me. In Jesus' miracles He is often met with the cry to have mercy on me in Matt. 9:27; 15:22; 17:15; 20:30-31. In His teaching- Compare Matt. 11:30 to Psalm 119:39 and how its ties with the teaching of Jesus. In His crucifixion- The cross of Jesus is foreshadowed in the psalmist's persecution- see Psalm 119:23.109:8 forsaken is the same word in Psalm 22:1; 16:10119:39, 42 The reproach of the Cross- Rom. 15:3; Heb. 11:26; 13:13119:108 Jesus the sacrifice- Heb. 10:5-10119:141 despised- Isaiah 53:3 In His resurrection- See 119:25 and the word revive or made alive.please send a facebook message including your email and I can send you more notes.
