Today’s Bible Life Lesson
Title: We are Christ’s Light Bearers
Text: Philippians 2:12-18.
Thread: Christ is the Light.
Tale: Apostle Paul reminds the saints at Philippi that Christ, i.e., God’s Light, works within them, is worked out through them, and also at work around them.
Thesis: As believers, Christ is the Light abiding within us, emanating from us, and shining upon others.
Thot 1: He is the Source Presiding in Us (13).
Thot 2: He is the Salvation Proceeding from Us (12).
Thot 3: He is the Shine Projecting through Us (14-18).
Transformation: May the Light of God, inside me, shine brighter thru me, illuminating my surroundings.
40 Days of Prayer & Fasting Now Happening
From Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday, Mar 1-Apr 9, the NC COGOP family is fasting and praying to “Seek God for our City”. Please participate as you are able. Our challenge is for everyone to fast one meal or more daily; and to pray for God’s kingdom to come or to be enlarged in our city, our homes, and our lives. May King Jesus reign fully in our hearts!
