Podcasts about light shines

For this fourth week of Advent we're making the move to the New Testament with John 1:1-18, which describes the Word becoming flesh to dwell among us. We think about what it means for God to become flesh, and how lonely it must be to exist in a world where there is none like you, both a human and a divine being. We discuss the darkness of the ways of Empire, oriented toward death, which cannot comprehend the true Light, which orients toward the fullness of life for all humankind. And we take courage in the invitation to live in that light, knowing that the powers of darkness cannot overcome it. Take courage, friends. The light of life is coming into the world.

If you read an article or watch a news show about the Middle East, Palestine, or Israel, what they are experiencing these days, though really hard, is not new. We could grab those stories, change some names and dates, and read what was happening over almost 3000 years ago. The only solution to the heartache…

Advent reminds us that God's peace doesn't arrive with force, but quietly works through ordinary people who are willing to follow His will. As we face sin, hurt, and the spiritual forces that seek to divide, we're invited to become people who bring Christ's restoring peace into the chaos around us.

Key Points:Christmas begins in eternity—Jesus existed before creation.Jesus is the eternal Word (Logos) who is fully God.Jesus created all things and is the source of life.His life is the light humanity desperately needs.Darkness can't overcome His light—ever.Our personal darkness has a beginning, but Jesus does not.Only Christ can fill the “God-sized hole” in every human heart.No darkness in our lives is too deep for Jesus to reach.We're called to bring hidden darkness into His light.God invites us into an exchange: darkness for light, sin for righteousness, death for life.Chapter Timescodes & Linked Key Points:00:00 – Opening Prayer00:36 – When Christmas “comes to town”02:25 – Light vs. Darkness Illustration03:41 – Jesus: The Eternal Word04:47 – What “Logos” Means05:49 – Why Jesus Being Eternal Matters – Key Point 606:58 – Jesus the Creator – Key Point 308:54 – Jesus as Life and Light – Key Points 4 & 709:31 – Why the World Was Dark Before Christ10:04 – The Light Shines in the Darkness – Key Points 5 & 811:10 – Present Tense Light: Jesus Still Shines12:10 – Darkness Throughout Scripture Fails to Win13:06 – Takeaway #1: No Darkness Too Deep – Key Point 814:42 – Takeaway #2: Bring Darkness Into the Light – Key Point 915:39 – Old Testament Sacrifice Imagery – Key Point 10Scripture References:John 1:1–5 – Central passageGenesis 1 – “In the beginning” connectionBiblical narrative references (not direct readings):Garden of EdenPharaohBabylonHerodThe CrossResurrection reference (“third day”) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------We're so glad you're here!

What is it like to watch the sun rise? This Advent, we will be thinking about the dawning of God‘s light, and practicing waiting for the full and final day, when Jesus returns. Rev.

Pastor Fran shares a special message on the first day of advent.

Advent begins in the tension of love and lament, inviting us to tell the truth about our hurting world while holding onto hope that refuses to let go. As we wait for the Light who shines in the darkness, our very waiting becomes a witness that love will have the last word.

Isaiah is a prophet who names the reality for what it is and offers hope in the midst of horror.  Hope doesn't wait until everything is well.  It speaks into the horror declaring that it doesn't have to be this way, there is another way that God is taking us.  Like Amos, Isaiah would probably feel right at home in America in 2025.  The sermon is based on Isaiah 9:1-7.

Most of us have encountered trauma either in our own direct experience or with someone in our immediate circle. This talk examines the shame and suffering that arise from trauma and how meditation practices can support a path to full spiritual healing. We focus on practices that help us access a sense of love and safety, and then increase our capacity to bring presence to the unprocessed, unlived life in the body. (Note: For many who suffer from PTSD, therapy is invaluable and these practices are not considered as a substitute.)   Podcast Intro Music: Adrienne Torf (www.adriennetorf.com)

William Taylor - Cases of ‘mistaken identity' can be embarrassing – especially when we fail to recognise whom it is we are speaking to. John's Gospel begins by spelling out precisely whom we are dealing with when it comes to the Lord Jesus. This most famous of texts leaves us with little excuse for not reading further.

Today we're jumping back into our new sermon series called "Believe: The Gospel of John". Where there is darkness there is light. Jesus has always been the world's source of light, but for the Christian this light source is near and dear to help navigate. Join us this morning as we dig deeper into understanding this light.

In this illuminating message titled “The Light in His Face: Seeing God's Glory in Jesus,” Pastor Nana Boadum reminds us that no matter the depth of our darkness, God has already spoken light into it—through Christ. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 4:6, we're invited to look again—not at our battles, fears, or failures—but into the face of Jesus, where the full radiance of God's glory shines.This message is a call to shift our gaze. When we behold Jesus rightly, we begin to see everything else—our purpose, identity, and situation—through the lens of glory. Whether you're weary, confused, or walking through the valley, let this word stir fresh hope and clear vision.
