“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
One of the questions I ask myself is “how bright is my light shining in this world around me?” If I
am not connected to the Lord every day, my light can begin to grow dim, and I will not shine
very much. God has rescued me from the darkness, and my assignment is to shine so brightly
that the darkness flees when I arrive. Now, it’s not my light that shines, but rather the bright light
of Jesus Christ Who is shining through me and you! Are we like that city on a hill offering safety
to those who will follow the light to us or has our light been hidden?
Shining for Him,

“Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, and constant in prayer.”
Great words from St. Paul for us in the good times and the times of struggle. Jesus tells us also that in this life we will have tribulation but to be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world. So…if we think everything is always going to be easy or if someone tells us if we live or believe a certain way then life will be without challenges, we will be continually disappointed. The truth is that life is tough but that there will also be times of hope and celebration. The key to living a fulfilled, contented Christian life is summed up in the last 3 words of the quote above. Being “constant in prayer” will keep us in continual fellowship with Jesus. Abiding in Him brings forth peace and as we get better at hearing His still small voice, He will lead us throughout our day. By the way, if you just read this, send me an email at wakeuppc@gmail.com and I will send you a blessing!
Rejoicing in Hope,
Pastor Chris Yount
