Living in the Light of the Lamb

Living in the Light of the Lamb

#008: Revelation 21:23 makes an awe-inspiring promise that God’s glory will outshine the sun in the new heavens and earth. Join us as we explore the parallels between our reliance on the sun for physical health and our dependence on Jesus Christ, the Light of the World, for spiritual vitality. Sunlight refreshes our minds and bodies, while the light of Christ renews our hearts, guiding believers to live as children of light. We’ll also consider the hope of Christ’s return, when the world will be fully restored, free from shadows, pain, and death. Live as children of light, letting your life shine with the hope of Christ’s coming, and rest in the promise of a world without shadows. Coffee Talk: Brance and Lauren talk about coffee size.
