Summary
All of our longings and needs were meant to be met in God. And yet, we live in a world constantly vying to meet our needs and desires in false, inadequate ways. Today we’ll explore how to walk in the light by looking to the light to meet all of our needs. As we re-train ourselves to seek God first for satisfaction, may we find how abundantly beyond our imaginings the Lord’s sufficiency is for us.
Our Scripture for today comes from Luke 11:34, and today's worship is There's No Other Name by Bethel Music.

| 1:02.0 | But when it's bad, your body is full of light. But when it's bad, your body is full of darkness. |
| 1:08.5 | We live in a world filled with darkness of all forms. On any given day we're inundated with temptation after |

| 1:59.0 | The light has come, but we have a real enemy trying to draw us back to the darkness at every turn. |
