Shining as Lights in a Dark World

Rick BennettNovember 9, 2025Discipleship

In this message, Pastor Rick encourages believers to not let familiarity with Scripture cause them to "check out," but to expect fresh, living revelation from God's Word, which is spirit and life. He emphasizes that Christians are called to be lights in a dark, crooked, and perverse generation, shining now by living a supernatural life empowered by the Holy Spirit. The message highlights the importance of being transformed by the renewing of the mind, escaping the corruption and perversity of the world, and walking faithfully in covenant with God. He also stresses the power of worship, abiding in the Word, and assembling together as vital ways to dwell in God's presence and radiate His glory. He calls the church to arise and shine, trusting that God's glory will rise upon His people even in the darkest times, and that the light of Christ in us is more powerful than any darkness. Finally, he exhorts the congregation to stay awake, be filled continually with the Spirit, and make the most of their time as they live out their calling to shine brightly for God's glory.
