Walking in the Light
(Morning Service)
Text: 1 John 1:5-2:2
This morning we’ll be thinking about what it means to walk in the light. John is keen to show us that God is light and in Him there is no darkness, but he’s just as keen to show us what God’s light means for our lives - we’ll see how God’s light influences the life of the Uncommon Community.
“This is the message we have heard from him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world.
(1 John 1:5–2:2 ESV)”
