Discovering Divine Light (06/'24/'24) -Message

Message: Discovering Divine Light Beloved, today we gather in the radiant glow of divine light, reminded of the profound truth that in God, there is no darkness. The Apostle John tells us, "If we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin" (1 John 1:7). This light not only cleanses us but also brings us into holy fellowship, binding our hearts in the unity of Christ's love. Yet, the journey into this light requires an honest confrontation with our inner shadows. We must acknowledge the sin within us, for to deny it is to deceive ourselves. True repentance is the gateway to the purification of our hearts. It is in the light of God's presence that we are made whole, our souls purified by His truth. Consider the shadows that are cast by the brilliance of His light. These shadows remind us of our need for His divine vision. Unlike human vision, which sees only the surface, God's vision penetrates to the very depths of our being. He sees beyond our outward appearances and understands the true nature of our hearts. To break free from the prisons that confine us, we must first recognize the chains of sin that bind us. In acknowledging our sin, we find the key to our liberation. God's vision for our lives is like a beacon, guiding us out of darkness and into His marvelous light. In this light, we discover the truth of who we are and who we are meant to be. When we embrace His vision, we step onto a path of grace, illuminated by His presence at every turn. Our hearts, once shrouded in shadow, are now redefined by His truth, glowing with the purity of His love. In this light, there is no room for darkness. His vision sets us free, revealing the beauty of our redeemed hearts. As we walk in His light, we are transformed, our souls reflecting the glory of His divine purpose. Each step we take brings us closer to the fulfillment of His plan for our lives. Our journey is a testament to His unwavering truth and boundless grace. Let us, therefore, embrace the light of God, acknowledging our need for His cleansing and guidance. Let us walk in His light, allowing His vision to reshape our lives. May our hearts be ever radiant with His love, our lives a living testament to the power of His transforming grace. Amen. Pastor Steven G. Lee (June 24, 2024)
