This message calls us to reclaim our identity as agents of light in a world increasingly consumed by darkness. Drawing from Ephesians 5:8-10, we're reminded of a deep truth: we were once darkness itself—not merely in darkness, but embodying it—yet now we are light in the Lord. This transformation isn't passive; it requires us to actively walk as children of light, finding out what is acceptable to God. The sermon challenges us to examine where darkness might be creeping back into our lives through seemingly small compromises—a half-truth here, a bit of gossip there. The enemy operates like a chess player, making subtle moves that open doors to greater darkness. But here's the good news: greater is He that is in us than any darkness that tries to invade our lives. We're called to be like lighthouses on hilltops, not hidden under baskets, shining brightly so those lost at sea can find their way home. Our light isn't just for us—it's for everyone in the house, everyone in our sphere of influence. When we let our light shine authentically, we become the beacon someone needs to avoid spiritual shipwreck, to overcome depression, or to find hope in their darkest hour.
