Darkness/Light
Series: Contrast
The light of the world brings sight to the blind and judgment to the blinded. Faith means seeing Jesus as Savior. We were born in the blindness of sin, and without the light of Christ we could not find a way to safety. Christ comes to shine his light into our darkened eyes that we might see him and live. Yet for those who refuse to see their Savior in Christ, the blindness of unbelief remains. He gives gracious sight to the blind who trust in him; he gives blinding judgment on those who reject him; finally, he displays the work of God in the lives of those who now walk in the light of Christ.

    The gift of God comes by faith to all nations. Not a holy life, not acts of obedience, but simple trust in the promise of God brings the gift of living water for thirsty souls. Abraham believed God’s promise and so became not only the father of a nation, but the forefather of the Promised Seed who would bless all people. He had faith in God who justifies the wicked, and so God credited it to him as righteousness. By this same faith, Christ gives righteousness to all who believe and enfolds sinful Samaritans and modern Gentiles like us into the family of God.

    Week 1: Team Adam? Or Team Jesus?
    Series: Contrast
    Have you ever met siblings who couldn't be more different? One is good at sports, and the other is into theater. They look nothing alike. The one is a leader, the other is a follower. They're complete contrasts of one another. And yet, they're still inextricably related. Today, as we begin our series, Contrast, we compare Adam and Christ - two people who couldn't be any more different, and yet who are inextricably connected to one another, and inextricably connected...to every one of us!
