In this sermon, Pastor Perry explores the profound declaration of Jesus in John 8:12, "I am the light of the world." Through this message, we delve into the significance of Jesus as the true light that dispels spiritual darkness and guides us in truth. Pastor Perry contrasts the physical darkness experienced during a power outage with the moral and spiritual darkness that can reside in the human heart. He emphasizes the importance of following Jesus, the light that never fails, and how His presence brings hope and clarity in a world often overshadowed by darkness. Join us as we uncover the transformative power of Christ's light in our lives.
