Light & Dark

FIRST15
About this episode

We live in the reality that there is both light and darkness around us at all times. This world has both good and evil, right and wrong. As believers we must grow in both our acceptance of this reality and our pursuit of the light. We must allow God to mold and shape us into those who rid ourselves of any darkness, become fully known to God, and allow his light to transform us into reflections of his Son. May the Lord open our eyes to see the glorious light before us this week.

Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 5:14, and today's worship is Father of Lights by Elevation Worship.

Thanks so much for listening to today’s podcast! I’m Craig Denison, author of First15. 

 

My prayer is that as we focus on this week’s topic of light, God illuminates every part of our life that he could mold us more into his likeness. 

 

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
