Light from the Light Channel

January 2023 - November 2024

This series is from our YouTube channel "Light from the Light". 

We based the channel on Psalm 36:9, “For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light.”

From this verse, we learn that our knowledge and understanding must be illuminated by the light of God’s revelation. Frequently we see Scripture refer to God’s revelation, the Bible, as Light. Scriptural revelation may not tell us everything we want to know, but it tells us key things we need to know. Frequently, we must study, investigate, research, and dig into archaeological, linguistic, and historical studies to make certain that we understand God’s Word correctly. A wrong understanding of God’s Word will not be enlightening. Thus, in this ministry, the task is to utilize all of these areas of research to gain an accurate understanding of God’s Word, so that in that light we can gain illumination for the problems, challenges, and applications we need in our own life. Thus we will at times bring in experts in different fields, at other times bring in historical, linguistic, and theological material to expose the meaning of God’s Word the Bible. In His LIGHT, we will see light!

Passage: John 1:12
Series: Light from the Light Channel
Duration: 21 mins 22 secs

We cannot hold God to a promise if we are not the one to whom He has made the promise. The pledges God makes to man are, with one exception, promises He makes to those who are in His family. The exception relates to those promises God makes about how to become a member of His family. Joining God’s family is not a matter of physical birth, racial heritage, moral excellence, spiritual sensitivity, denominational association, or anything else we accomplish. God does not adopt us on the basis of our talent, position, social standing, accomplishments, intelligence, or birth. From the wealthy to the poor, from the mighty and powerful to the weak and simple, all enter into God’s family the same way. The clearest promise of this is found in the fourth gospel of the New Testament, the Gospel of John.

“But as many as received Him [Jesus Christ], to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name:” John 1:12

Passage: Exodus 13:21 & Psalm 18:28
Series: Light from the Light Channel
Duration: 20 mins 35 secs
In this episode we further develop why we chose the title "Light from the Light" with passages of scripture such as Exodus 13:21, "And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night." and Psalm 18:28, "For You will light my lamp; The LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.". We also look at Psalm 119:105 which reads, "Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.".
