On today's episode CharacterStrong Co-Founder John Norlin explores a simple idea with big impact: the pace of our day influences the way we show up for others. When we're constantly rushing, even our best intentions, like showing kindness or practicing empathy, can get lost in the shuffle. John invites educators and leaders to reflect on how we prioritize connection in our daily routines. Sometimes, the most powerful shift we can make is slowing down just enough to see the people right in front of us.

Gospel of John - Light of the World John 8:1-30 August 10, 2025 Guest Speaker: Doug Siggelkow Streaming License: 20979318

Title: The Light of the WorldPreacher: Denny BurkSeries: JohnPassage: John 8:12–30

Tim Jackson continues our Summer Teaching series on the I Am statements of Jesus. This week we look at the statement I am the Light of the world, and look what what Jesus meant by being the light of the world, the darkness he came to bring light to, what is the light of life and what it means to follow the light. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Today, John talks with Glenn Packiam about how resilience begins with recovery: the ability to return to a place of spiritual rest. Like a stress test measuring how fast your heart returns to normal, true spiritual health isn't the absence of struggle, but the speed at which we return to God after it. There is no such thing as a life without trouble, which is why Jesus promised that he would be with us to the very end of the age.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Mercy isn't just about the command to 'go and sin no more'—it's about the invitation: 'He that followeth me shall not walk in darkness.'

We cannot read the hearts of man, but Jesus can. Pastor Nate Harlan preaches further on man's judgment versus God's. Listen above or download the audio file here. Photo by Em bé khóc nhè on Unsplash The post The Light of the World — John 8:12–20 first appeared on Trinity Reformed Church.

Doesn't it seem like everything is hyperconnected, screen-centric today? In a matrixed existence how are we meant to find pockets of peace in the day? It can feel almost impossible to grasp. The peace has a hard time flourishing in an online environment that usually amplifies outrage, judgment, and anxiety. Leading voices today have noted that social media gives us the power to express contempt with increasing ease. It's not pretty out there. And too often, Christians have joined the chorus of division and often led it. But Scripture reminds us: peace is not found in being right, it is a fruit of the Spirit. It grows not from surrender. Peace is not about willpower; it's something we experience as we let go of judgment, hurry, and the illusion of control.Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.

Tom Watts Series: I am: more than you ever expected John 8:12-30 St John's Downshire Hill - Sunday 15th June 2025

As Mike continues our series we explore Jesus' claim that he is "the light of the world". What is his proof for the claim and what is his purpose? These are themes explored today.

Harvest Church Arroyo Grande - Sunday June 15th, 2025 "For God So Loved the World" | John 13:1–11  In this powerful message, Pastor Steve walks us through John 13 and the unforgettable moment when Jesus washes His disciples' feet. More than just an act of service, this moment is a vivid picture of the Gospel. We explore three truths: 1. Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life and eternity. 2. Unless Jesus washes you, you have no inheritance in Him. 3. Jesus explains the believer's need for sanctification. Through this humble act, Jesus reveals His love, His mission, and the cleansing work only He can do. This message challenges us to receive His grace, walk in holiness, and follow His example of servant-hearted love. #Gospel #JesusLovesYou #John13 #Sanctification #HarvestChurchAG #Sermon

The Light of the World (John 8:12-20, Jun 8th 2025) by Sovereign Grace Church

(Mandarin) Lianbo Zhang - Narwee Baptist Church

There are so many reasons for you and for me to believe that there is no possible way for us to make a difference in our world today. The problem is that Jesus tells us that our primary call is to go and do just that! In this conversation between Peter and Jesus, Jesus addresses 3 major lies Peter and many of us can believe that keep us from experiencing God's desire, willingness and ability to transform lives and change the world through us as we follow Him and go.

When we refuse to worship at the altar of consumerism, when we choose justice over profit, when we stand with the oppressed against their oppressors, and speak truth in the face of lies, we're going to face resistance. We'll be called naive, idealistic, unrealistic. We'll be told that this is just the way the world works, that we can't change anything, that our efforts don't matter. But remember: we are not of this world. Subscribe to us on iTunes! Sermon text: web | doc

"I AM the Light of the World" from John 9:1-7 preached by Corey McGrail on 5/18/25 at Sola City Church.

The desire of God is not that you would be insulated or isolated from the world, but that you would be a living testimony to God's truth in and to the world.Every Christian experiences a tension between desiring to be separated from the world and obedience to proclaim the gospel to the world. Throughout history, there have been excesses on both sides of this tension. Sometimes, Christians have overemphasized separation from the world and sought to isolate themselves from the world and restrict contact with non-Christians. At other times, Christians have overemphasized ministry to the world and abandoned holiness and the requirements of faith and obedience in a foolish attempt to make the gospel more worldly appealing.The Christian who attempts to isolate themselves from the world disobeys God's command to be a gospel light and witness to the world, and the Christian who seeks at all costs to be appealing to the world disobeys God's command to live lives of holiness.Whether you are a recent high school graduate preparing to enter the working world or attend college, or an adult working a secular job, every Christian must wrestle with this tension that comes from living a holy life for Christ while living in an evil world.This is the very issue that Jesus is praying about in John 17:14-19. He does not pray that God would take Christians out of the world, but while they are in the world, keep them holy and obedient to the faith.In this sermon, pastor Ben Smith preaches from John 17:14-19 on how you can be in the world without becoming like the world by seeking godly affections, resting in God's power, and being set apart by God.Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.This sermon was originally preached on 5/4/2025 for graduate recognition Sunday.Books and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon notes are available at http://bensmithsr.org/resources.For more information on Central Baptist Church, visit www.cbcwaycross.org.

In today's teaching, we reflect on Jesus' words, “Do not let your heart be troubled,” spoken even as he faced the ultimate darkness of the cross. Jesus warns of "the prince of this world" (the devil), emphasizing that evil, while real and deeply damaging, holds no power over him. Drawing from C.S. Lewis and psychiatrist Scott Peck, the talk explores how evil often hides behind lies and self-deception, yet remains parasitic on the good that God created. Even in the face of heartbreaking darkness and cruelty, Jesus' love for the Father and his obedience shine through, showing that God's goodness ultimately triumphs. No matter how deep the brokenness, we're invited to trust God and live with untroubled hearts.Join the conversation in our FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CnqywVp9s/Become New is here to help you grow spiritually one day at a time.John's new book STEPS is out!

This Easter Sunday, Senior Pastor Kyle Valaer brought an impactful Easter message to the Perdido Key Campus titled ‘For God So Loved the World,' reflecting on the deep and faithful love God offers to all.  We hope this resource is a blessing to you. For more information about the Point Church, please visit us online at www.tothepoint.church.Take Aways: When God raised Jesus from the dead, He confirmed everything Jesus had taught, done, and promised.According to the Bible, God loves you because He loves you.God knew and recognized that the greatest good He could do for us was to address our deepest trouble—the sin that separated us from Him.The only way to not perish is to believe in Jesus. 5. May you never lose the wonder that God sent His Son to redeem you and give you eternal life.

Christ is risen! Sin and death have been defeated, and all those who trust in Christ receive eternal life. But what does that mean, exactly? In this Easter 2025 sermon, we look at John 3:16—perhaps the most familiar verse in the Bible—to explore the love of God, the grace of God, and the path to life.

This week Pastor Blake concludes the Transformed series with a message focusing on the theme of "God as light" seen throughout the scriptures, and specifically in the Transfiguration.   Want to watch a version of this message? Check out our live broadcast archive at www.declarationchurch.net/live.

I Am the Light of the World | John 8 by Osterville Baptist Church

In a time where the threat of authoritarianism is on the rise, how might we take the next step toward creating truly equitable and thriving societies?This question, for many, may feel increasingly out of reach.And yet for redemptive thinker, and visionary leader john a. powell,it serves as one of the central lines of inquiry in his work. johh a. powell is the Director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at the University of California, Berkeley, A civil rights advocate, And an author who has written books including: Belonging Without Othering: How We Save Ourselves and the World. Woven throughout his writings and teachings - he brings our attention again and again to the root of inequality. A root born out of the process of 'othering'. A process that primes us to see people as a threat,which leads to fear, disconnection, and the fracturing of our society.And while John addresses the root cause of so much suffering,One of the things I greatly appreciate about his work is that he  simultaneously invites us to consider an alternative path.A way forward that calls upon the better angels of our nature. In his words:“We can overcome the illusion of separateness by honoring our differences, transcending the notion that difference divides us, and instead co-create a world where everyone belongs.”Today we will explore some of John's profound insights, stories, and practices for increasing belonging which include:Bridging, a practice which fosters acceptance both of those we might have othered, and aspects of ourselvesSpirituality and remembering our interconnected natureCuriosityThe power of presenceAnd ultimately how we can meet others, including ourselves, from a place of love instead of fearFor more on john, his work, and his new book The Power Bridging, please visit johnapowell.orgAnd for more on the incredible work coming out of the othering and belonging institute check out belonging.berkeley.eduDid you find this episode inspiring?

As we continue our journey through the Gospel of John, we dive into chapters 18 and 19, walking through the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus as we approach Easter. This season of Lent invites us to engage deeply with a familiar yet profoundly challenging story—the suffering of Christ. It’s easy to skip ahead to the resurrection, but there is so much to learn in these moments of Jesus’ trial, betrayal, and ultimate sacrifice. Key Themes Covered: Human Struggle with Pain & Suffering – As humans, we often avoid pain—whether our own or others’. How do we sit in the reality of Jesus’ suffering without looking away? Jesus & Pilate: A Clash of Power – Jesus stands firm in divine authority, while Pilate sways under pressure. What does true power look like? Pilate’s Search for Truth – When Pilate asks, “What is truth?” is he dismissive or genuinely searching? How does his question reflect modern struggles with truth and authority? Key Verses: John 18:36 – "My kingdom is not of this world." John 19:10-11 – "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." Matthew 28:18 – "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me." Philippians 2:9-11 – "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow." Takeaways: This week, sit with John 18-19 and ask God to reveal areas in your heart where you struggle to surrender to His authority. Reflect on what it means to have spiritual authority through Christ—how can you walk in power, love, and self-discipline? As Easter approaches, let’s not rush past the cross. Let’s sit with the reality of Jesus’ suffering and allow it to deepen our love for Him. Jesus’ power is unshakable, rooted in the truth of who He is. Unlike the fleeting power structures of the world, His authority stands firm. Whatever you are facing today, know that His power, love, and sovereignty are over it all.

Title: Jesus Is The Light of the WorldMain Text: John 8:12Key Points:Jesus Declares Himself as the Light of the WorldDuring the Feast of Tabernacles, Jesus claims, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (John 8:12)This claim references God's presence as light, guiding His people.The Symbolism of Light vs. DarknessLight represents truth, God's presence, and guidance.Darkness symbolizes sin, ignorance, and separation from God.The Three Barriers That Blind Us to the LightArrogance – Trusting in intellect and self-sufficiency rather than surrendering to Jesus (John 5:39-40).Ignorance – Not understanding God's ways yet refusing to believe (John 8:21-24).Pain & Suffering – Tragedy can blind us to God's presence instead of drawing us to Him.God's Presence Leads Us Through Every SeasonJust as God led the Israelites through the wilderness with light, Jesus leads us through our struggles into His presence.“In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.” (John 1:4)The Call to Follow the LightFollowing Jesus means walking in the light and leaving darkness behind.“Even as He spoke, many believed in Him.” (John 8:30)
