Message Notes

The Light and the Way | unCERTAINty, Week 1

Ayren Nelson


Description

When life feels uncertain and the path ahead is unclear, who or what are you holding onto for guidance? In a world filled with shadows, Jesus is not just our guide, He is the way, the light that leads us forward. Discover how walking in His light changes how we see, move, and trust when everything else feels dark.


1 John 1-2:6


In life, what can we hold onto to give us certainty in uncertain times?


JESUS IS REAL.

GOD IS LIGHT.

JESUS IS THE WAY.


1 John 1:1-4 (ESV)


Jesus is real.

When was a time in your life that you knew without a shadow of a doubt that Jesus was real?


When we share the story of Jesus’ realness in our lives, we invite others to taste that realness as well. 


1 John 1:5-10 (ESV)


God is light.

Are you walking in the light, or are you trying to hide?


If you want to experience complete unity with God and the church, it starts with confession.


1 John 2:1-2 (ESV)

1 John 2:3-6 (ESV)


Do you look more like Jesus today than you used to? And if not, do you know Him?
