Hope in Despair

Do you live in the light aware of the darkness or in the darkness aware of the light? In the gospel of John, he speaks of the arrival of Jesus as light coming into darkness. Something Jesus later proclaimed on multiple occasions, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness…” Light in the darkness, peace on earth and good will to all men. During Advent we will encourage you to live from a position of hope, peace, joy and love in a world that many times feels stuck in darkness. What can life look like when we actually live in hope vs. living in darkness with only an awareness of hope?

Open Life Church gathers together each Sunday in person at the Bonney Lake High School Performing Arts Center at 10 am. Our online messages are there for those who are not able to be with us in person, filmed at The Gathering Place earlier in the week, and released each Sunday morning.
