I'm still stoked about our last Sunday service! We talked about how we want to be a people that uses our light of influence to shine on Jesus. So many churches and Christians waste their influence by declaring what they're against. Or they misuse their influence by discussing peripheral or temporal things. But in the book of Revelation Jesus told the churches that they were like lampstands. And if they didn't let their light shine where he intended that he would remove their lampstand.
A lot of us complain that the church has lost influence in the culture and we often place the blame on the media or on this generation. But Jesus says that he will remove our influence if we don't use it the way he planned.
This past Sunday I saw our church family united in worship and in purpose. I heard you say that you want our light to shine on Jesus. And Jesus said that when he is lifted up he will draw all men to himself.
I think something new and wonderful is happening at WCC! I think Jesus is being lifted up. He's drawing people to himself.
Can you see the light?
