Summary

As we continue our week on living in and pursuing the light, today we’ll explore how we as God’s people are called out of darkness and to the light. Our new inheritance as God’s saints is to step out of hiding, and walk in full vulnerable honesty before God and man. May you be strengthened in grace and integrity today as you’re re-envisioned toward your calling to the light.

Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 5:8, and today's worship is Morning Light by Josh Garrels.

If you’ve wrestled with making Bible study a consistent habit of spiritual formation, A Light Unto My Path will inspire and encourage you to drink more deeply from the unending well that is the Bible.

A Light Unto My Path will answer these 7 critical questions:

Why do we read the Bible?
How was the Bible created?
Why do we need to interpret the Bible?
What is the Bible about?
What are the best tools for studying the Bible?
What can I learn from others?
How can I learn for myself?

I love that the goal of this book is not to learn more about the Bible (even though you will), but to better understand the Bible as one of the primary ways God seeks to have a relationship with us today.
