Adrian McCollough The Light of Glory Lunette McCollough Angie Miller John 1:1-5 Nancy Moss Jerry Nance INTRODUCTION Jennifer Parries On this third Sunday of Advent, we come to share. The Divine Light Jack Riddle overcomes the darkness. Two truths: there is darkness in this world Frances Venable Family and there is light. Just as in the Genesis’ creation account, God divides Jerry Von Cannon the light from the darkness, the two are separate and different. Larry Wilder Bailey Wilhite Darkness is the absence of light and light makes darkness cease. God Bobby Wood is light and the world is in darkness. We must choose to come to the light or stay in the dark. There are three things people do with the Light of Glory: Birthdays This Week I. Reject it. Roger Miller – December 16 a. Some reject the Light of Glory directly. Parker Harrington – December 17 Carter Bridges – December 19 b. Some say “Yes” but mean “no”. David Riddle – December 20 c. Both are disobedient.

II. Respond to it Nursery Workers: a. The Light of Glory warns us against the darkness of Sunday Morning: sin. 11:00 Diane Moore & Mary Lou Gregory b. The Light of Glory allows us to see! Next Sunday: 11:00 Dustin & Lauren Mitchell III. Reflect it. Our Deacon Ministry: a. We are not the light, but we are to reflect the light to Deacon Of The Month – Bill Cotten others. Tom Luck, Chairman-2014, Betsy Phillips, Secretary-2015, Steve Cotten- 2014, Bobby Hurley-2014, Tommy Bridges-2015, Mark Jackson-2015, Davis b. The more we reflect the Light of Glory, the more Harris-2017, Bill Cotten-2017 & David Aycock -2017 others can see God. Children’s Church: CONCLUSION Special Ongoing 12/15/2013 Dustin & Lauren Mitchell What will we do with the Light of Glory. ItConcerns is certainly not wise to 12/22/2013 Will & Jami Roland reject the light. How we respond and reflect the Light of Glory will be the greatest choice of our lives!Betty Davies Buddy Denise Marion Chriscoe Anthony Harrington Dr. Gary McCollough, Pastor [email protected] Margie Cole Heather Hickman Flat Springs PRAYER CONCERNS Rev.
