    From Darkness To Light Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Oct 18, 2000

    How are we to be people of integrity in a world that’s opposed to God? By being children of light, and living as light in the world. That means ensuring that the things we do are things that we’re proud of, things that we’d gladly do in the presence of Go

    What does it mean to be a person of integrity? Well, the word derives from the word integer, which means something that’s complete or whole in itself. So when you’re reading a letter like Ephesians, which concentrates so much on unity in the Church, it’s appropriate that we think about unity of our ...read more

    I borrowed the title from a Sermoncentral contributor because it was so good. But the rest of this sermon deals with sexual immorality and how the Christian needs to walk in a sexually darkened world.

    LIVING A G-RATED LIFE IN AN R-RATED WORLD Let me tell you about a couple I have become familiar with, Josh and Jerusha. These two grew up together in the same neighborhood, you could say. Actually, Josh was a few years older than Jerusha and had the pleasure of watching Jerusha grow from an ...read more

    How does a Christian deal with Halloween in a way that glorifies God?

    Halloween can be a troubling holiday. Many of us carry fond memories of Halloweens long ago, back when we were growing up. Many of us remember it as innocent fun—a special day just for children. I remember dressing up in silly costumes and going door to door begging for candy. When I was ...read more

    Too often we make life more complicated than it really is. In fact life really is simply when we live according to God’s Word.

    LIVING YOUR FAITH: THE SIMPLICITY OF LIFE EPHESIANS 5:8 A little more than 11 years ago, Sherri and I had our first warm debate…it all surrounded the game of life A. The details are conveniently little fuzzy 1. One of us decided to make up the rules as we went along 2. New and improved ...read more

    We must continually draw close to the Lord of Light because He is the one who produces fruit in our life.

    INTRODUCTION Who’s afraid of the dark? Who’s ever been afraid of the dark? I was. Yep, that’s right. I had a nightlight too. Anybody have a nightlight? I had one of those really cool care bear ones. Wish Bear to be exact. Did you ever stop and think why people have nightlights? I mean, ...read more

    Having a healthy marriage

    Last week we talked about a problem we are facing in America: Marriage is being undermined by a force of enemies coming against it.

    In this sermon I try to follow the flow of comfort and directives as Paul uses it in his directives to the Ephesians to live as children of Light.

    February 27, 2005 Ephesians 5:8-14 8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds ...read more

    Let the Son Shine! 1) On you; 2) Through you

    Even if the temperatures don’t always reflect it, the position of the sun proves it. Spring is on its way! Sure there is still lots of snow on the ground and the sidewalks are plenty icy, but the sun keeps climbing higher and staying longer in the sky – a sure sign of spring’s approach. I’m ...read more

    Walk in the Light

    This is a true story – no I mean it, it really is true. Warren had an MRI a couple of weeks ago. I don’t know if you have ever had one. I’ve had a couple. One a long time ago and one just a few years ago. They have gotten better. For the first MRI that I had, the MRI was this big tube that ...read more

    How we act and how we speak to each other really does matter to God. You may be just mirroring what you see people doing and saying around you - but is it right?

    The cover story of the September 14th issue of Newsweek magazine is very revealing about our culture today. The story is entitled: "How to say no to your kids." What I found interesting wasn’t the tips of saying "no" but on why it’s so hard for parents to do it. Some statistics jump off the ...read more

    Every Christian is called to be filled with the Holy Spirit

    …..be filled with the Spirit. Eph 5:18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit.

    Transformed by God’s grace, we walk before others, including our families, exemplifying the fruits of the Spirit

    Ephesians 5:1-2, 8-14 “Imitators of God” INTRODUCTION Is faith a verb or a noun? Most of us would identify “faith” as a noun. The Christian faith is a set of theological principles to which we give assent and adhere. For example, we believe in the truth that Jesus Christ lived, died and rose ...read more
