Podcasts about true light

Who were the magi, the wise men who brought gifts to the baby Jesus? Where did they come from? When did they arrive? Were there only three? Were they kings? Why are they traditionally placed in that role? There are a lot of intriguing things about these mysterious “star-followers,” who filled such an important role in the story of the incarnation, yet are unnamed and never heard from again.

This Sunday, we continue our Annual Advent Mini-Series with the second of two messages intended to prepare our hearts for another wonderful Christmas season. Join us this week for our sermon titled—The Light Arrives and a deep dive into another familiar passage read during the Advent season. The apostle John's Gospel account is quite different from both Matthew & Luke. They record all of the historical facts related to Jesus' birth, whereas John's Gospel begins before the foundation of the world and focuses instead on the theological meaning of the arrival of The Word, the True Light and the Saviour of the World. Read John 1:1-14 in advance to prepare for this encouraging message!

We hope you enjoy today's Scripture reading and devotional aimed at equipping you for moral and spiritual transformation. Today's Bible reading is 1 John 2:1–8.

You can't navigate a dark room until someone turns on the light—and the same is true spiritually. Dr. Tony Evans reminds us that Jesus came as the Light of the World, bringing clarity and truth to every corner of our lives.

Wise men from the East were led by a star to Bethlehem, to the home where Joseph, Mary, and the Messiah-child were living. Those who truly know God are called to fill a similar role, guiding others to the Savior of the world. In this teaching, you will discover a radiant revelation in this area, piercing the darkness from Genesis to the prophecies of Daniel, to the writings of Paul. So, send forth the light of truth, child of God! Fulfill your destiny! Shine brightly everywhere you go!

Being close to something doesn't mean you see it clearly. Dr. Tony Evans shows how many people at the first Christmas missed the Savior entirely—and how our own blind spots can keep us from recognizing Him today.

Tim and Mary take a look at the headlines, once again – and another news cycle that just bears out how late the hour is. Waking up to a weekend of violence, we have to not only ask ourselves why, but it makes us want to shout from the hilltops: “Enough! Stop it!” The average American does struggle with the lawlessness we witness in bundles sometimes, but we feel completely helpless to do anything about it. We look at why the evil is so ramped up. We also take a look at Europe and it’s unbelievable, unrelenting pursuit of a surveillance state. It makes us all wonder who exactly gave who permission to look at every chat and text their citizens send. Also, we have to examine the underpinnings of the Australian Hanukkah rampage and discuss what Hanukkah actually is. The signs were all there, but just like October 7, there wasn’t enough time or energy to take any of it seriously. How dark will it get before the True Light returns for His people?

This week I have two stories for you. The first is about a carpenter who disappears, a wife who won't stop waiting, and a menorah that had been in the family for generations. The second is about Reb Zusha of Hanipol, and the night his Rebbe told him to step aside.

God never leaves Himself without a witness. In preparation for the Light's arrival, He sent John the Baptist as a faithful voice, whose sole purpose was to point everyone away from himself and toward the True Light. This defines the fundamental calling of every believer and every ministry.

The True Light - John 1:1-18,3:16-21 by Stone Oak Bible

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.

Hanukkah is often misunderstood as a festival about tradition, miracles, or folklore - but its true power lies in dedication, covenant faithfulness, and the restoration of God's dwelling. In this short overview, we look beyond later myths and return to the biblical and historical foundations of Hanukkah, showing how it connects directly to Sukkot, the Maccabean struggle, and ultimately to Yeshua the Messiah. Hanukkah did not originate as a commanded feast in Leviticus 23. It emerged during a time when Sukkot could not be celebrated because the Temple had been desecrated under Antiochus Epiphanes. After the Maccabean victory, the Temple was cleansed, pagan worship removed, and true worship restored.The dedication of the Temple was then celebrated in the pattern of Sukkot, with rejoicing and thanksgiving. This historical context gives powerful meaning to John 10:22–23, where Yeshua stands in the Temple during the Feast of Dedication and reveals His divine identity. In this overview, you'll discover: Why Hanukkah is connected to Sukkot—and why it is not a replacement for it How the Maccabean stand was about covenant faithfulness, not culture or politics What the cleansing and rededication of the Temple points to in the New Covenant Why Yeshua identifies Himself as the true dwelling place of God How Hanukkah ultimately calls us to wholehearted dedication to Messiah This Overview keeps Messiah at the center, rejects extra-biblical mythology, and shows Hanukkah in Scripture, history, and the changes that come in Yeshua. “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” Revelation 19:10 The light is not in the lampstand. The Light is in the Son.

A Witness to the LightThe True LightLight for a Darkened World

This is the December 14th sermon from the First United Methodist Church in Decatur, Texas. This sermon is taken from John 1:6-9.

The disciples asked Jesus, “Increase our faith.” Instead of working a spectacular miracle, the Son of God responded by sharing two mini-parables. Surprisingly, one of them sounds even destructive to faith—until the deeper meaning is unveiled. Learn powerful insights that will cause your faith to grow – supernaturally – and bring you more fully into your identity as “the household of faith” (Galatians 6:10).Ministry website: www.shreveministries.orgComparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netThe “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.orgVideo channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mail: P.O.

Are the “Law of Karma” in Hinduism and the “Law of Sowing and Reaping” in biblical Christianity the same? Quite often, Christians use these terms interchangeably.

This Advent season, we continue our series “From Darkness to Dawn” in John 1:6–13.As we slow down and remember the coming of Christ, we're reminded that the Light has entered our darkness—revealing who God is, who we are, and our desperate need for new birth.

One of the most remarkable and recognizable characteristics of the family of God is the gift of faith that resides within us. This wondrous ability to believe creates an unbreakable bond—that binds us to God and to each other. For this reason, we are called “the household of faith” or as one translation puts it, “the family of believers.” No matter what comes our way in life, “this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” (1 John 5:4)Ministry website: www.shreveministries.orgComparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

How appropriate it would be if the attitude of gratitude was highlighted in a ninth beatitude, “Blessed are the grateful, for God often works miracles for them!” In this "True Light" episode, you will discover that the story of Jonah in the Bible is completely different from what most people have been taught. We will also find out that thankfulness was the primary key to his deliverance. Two other powerful, real-life stories illustrate this powerful concept even more powerfully. Try it!
