People: All things came into being through him, and without him, not one thing came into being. All: What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not not overcome it. (John 1: 1-5) Hymn: #104 We Hail You God’s Anointed black hymnal Call To Confession Prayer of Confession Forgive us Lord. You have sent us the light, but we have looked for it in all the wrong places. We have looked for it in political leaders and the weapons we have made whether they be words, guns or factions. Anger and violence are the things of darkness. Your light is not in them. Lord, help us to look for the light which is Jesus Christ. His light is your light and that light is the light for all people. In our worship time and in each day, help us to look to the light, to walk in the light and carry the light so that others will come to it, so that your Kingdom would come and your will would be done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Hear now our silent confessions to you Assurance of Pardon The Passing Of The Peace of Christ Pastor: The Peace of Christ be with you! People: And also with you! Pastor: Let us offer to each other the Peace of Christ. Scripture: Isaiah 9: 1-7 Pastor: This is the Word off the Lord! People: Thanks be to God! Sermon: Looking For The Light Points To Ponder a) How is our modern situation like that of Isaiah’s time? b.) How has our behavior mirrored those of the people then? c.) Where is the light and what must we do with it? d.) What difference will that make?
