Summary
As we begin to wrap up our week on Light, today we’ll explore following God into the light. We each face temptations of various kinds. And God promises each of us a way out by his leadership in the midst of temptation and struggle. We are not alone in anything we face, as our Jesus has told us he’s faced it too. May you feel better equipped to face temptation and sin today as you encounter Jesus and his truth for you on this subject.
Our Scripture for today comes from Isaiah 42:16, and today's worship is Step into the light by Sean Curran.

With all the emotional and spiritual challenges of our time, one thing is clear — true peace is only found in the midst of God’s presence.
