Arise and Shine: Answering God's Call to Be Light in the Darkness

In this powerful message, we're called to 'Arise and Shine' as children of God. Drawing from Isaiah 60:1 and Matthew 5:14-16, we're reminded that we are the light of the world. Just as God spoke light into existence at creation, He's calling us to be beacons of His light in a dark world. The sermon explores the fascinating properties of light - its speed, its ability to travel through space, and how we can see starlight from thousands of years ago. This scientific insight parallels our spiritual journey: our light today can impact generations to come.

We're challenged to move beyond excuses and comfort zones, to actively shine God's love and kindness in our communities. The message emphasizes that true faith isn't just about personal belief, but about allowing God's glory to shine through us in tangible ways that draw others to Him. Be blessed!
