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!

Why should we rely on God's promises when we need strength? Our memory verse today is a statement to Zechariah, father of John the Baptist, spoken by the Angel, Gabriel. Learn that he spoke a similar promise to Mary when he was announcing that she would bear a son. Both of these announcements promised seemingly impossible events but God is able to do whatever He intends and nothing is impossible for God.

Our memory verse today comes from the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus is teaching His followers how to live righteously unlike the Pharisees who believed following the Mosaic Law was all that was required. Jesus is pointing out that just as a loving, earthly father gives good gifts to his children, we can trust our Heavenly Father to give us things that help us and are good for us.

Is our memory verse today a promise that God gives us everything we ask for when we pray? In order to understand this verse listen as Pastor Dean explains the context. See that it was spoken by Jesus on Palm Sunday and refers to Jesus being the sacrificial Lamb of God. It is a figure of speech showing we need to have faith when we come to God in prayer and we need to have forgiven those who have wronged us.

Do we have to end our prayers by saying the words "in Jeus' name" in order to get the answers we want? Our memory verse makes it seem that way but we need to learn the context to understand that praying in Jesus' name does not refer to saying the words. Instead it means we are understanding all that Jesus is and all He has done for us. We need to study the Scriptures to learn this about Him.
