This week we will start a new series called “The Light Breaks In” that will guide us through advent. In John 1 Jesus is described as the light that breaks into the darkness, that pushes back the darkness. Each week in this series we are going to look at places in our lives and scripture where Jesus breaks in, and pushes back darkness in unexpected ways, times and places.

Moses grows up caught between cultures, uncertain where he belongs. After a rash decision he flees to the wilderness of Midian where God begins forming him through obscurity, patience, and waiting long before his calling fully comes into focus.
As I have been approaching Father’s Day, I have been thinking about God the Father. How I am his child, how we all are children of God. How is it then that Jesus is called God’s only Son? Are we not children of God? Why does John in one of the most familiar New Testament passages, from John 3:16. Call Jesus his only Son? I want to explore the beauty of how we have become children of God.
