Light and Life
Light and Life
Pastor Jack Morris

In John Chapter 1, two powerful words rise to the surface—light and life. These words capture the essence of what Jesus offers to all who believe. His light brings clarity, direction, and hope in a dark world, while His life brings not just existence, but purpose and eternity. On today’s Healing Word, Pastor Jack Morris invites you to discover the richness of these truths as we study John 1:4–5 and learn how the light of Christ still shines in the darkness, offering life that never ends.

Countdown #1 - Light in a Dark World as Biblical Worldviews Declines
Sharon Hughes

The issues facing our nation and world are growing darker and darker. We need the Light of the Truth more than ever. That is just one of the reasons for the season...and one we should definitely be focusing on this Christmas! Truth = Freedom. Whether we're dealing with economic issues ie inflation, or morality or religious views (Americans who hold to a Biblical worldview declines yet again) we need the message and hope and truth of the Good News.John 1:4-5 "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it."
