If we are truly honest with ourselves, there might be times in our lives when we want to deny the reality around us. Maybe we don't want to face this situation or that circumstance so we engage in some sort of denial toward it. However, we all know that just because we deny something doesn't mean it isn't real and denying is not helpful to us. In fact, light must be shown on these realities in order for us to grow. More importantly, light must be shown on the sins within our lives. This week in our sermon series, we see that John shines light on storms that were happening within the church and on the sin nature that is in all of us. God teaches us through His Word that we cannot stay in fellowship with Him and His light if we walk in the darkness.
