What does it mean to be part of God’s family? In this sermon, hear how Jesus invites those who hear and live out God’s word into a deeper spiritual community. Through the parable of the sower and the image of a lamp shining in the darkness, we’re reminded that God’s word is more than something to read, it is a light that transforms us.Salvation, this message teaches, is a life changed by Christ’s light: a light that helps us find our way, serve others and endure life’s dark moments. May we welcome that light into our hearts and grow together in faith.
