Jesus declares in John 8:12, “I am the light of the world,” connecting His identity to the pillar of fire that guided Israel through the wilderness. Pastor Jim’s message, “Light Them Up,” reminds us that just as the moon reflects the sun, we reflect Christ’s light to a world searching for truth. We’re called to be salt and light, not hiding our faith but boldly sharing the hope we’ve found in Jesus, especially as we prepare for Church in the Park next week.

When we step out in faith and love on people, something amazing happens. We’re energized by the Holy Spirit as we share the Gospel. You don’t need fancy training or perfect words. Just tell your story of how Jesus saved you. Let your light shine wherever you go, remembering that God never leaves you hanging when He sends you out to reflect His love to those who desperately need it.
