In this sermon, Pastor Josh Strelecki explores the theme of light and darkness in the Christian walk, drawing from Ephesians 5:8-14. He emphasizes the transition from darkness to light that believers experience through their faith in Christ. Pastor Josh explains that before believing the gospel of Christ, individuals were not just in darkness but were darkness itself, characterized by sinful deeds and worldly wisdom. Now, as believers, they are light in the Lord, called to walk as children of light. He highlights the spiritual transformation that takes place, urging the congregation to reject the unfruitful works of darkness and instead manifest the fruit of the Spirit—goodness, righteousness, and truth—in their lives.

Pastor Josh further elaborates on the implications of being light in the Lord, encouraging believers to reflect this light in a world filled with darkness. He stresses the importance of not merely recognizing their identity in Christ but actively walking in it by displaying godliness in behavior and attitudes. Using examples from Scripture, he illustrates how the spiritual light provided through the gospel empowers believers to overcome the allure of worldly desires and live lives that are blameless and fruitful. The sermon concludes with a call to believers to embrace their position in Christ and to let this spiritual light guide their conduct, ultimately bringing glory to God and witnessing to the world.
