Sermon for Easter 6C 2007
 
Children’s Message:  This a night light.
We have a couple of them in our home.
They are plugged into the sockets all the time, but they only come on when it’s dark.
They are always ready for us if we need them.
The love and teaching of Jesus is always here for us.
All we have to do is turn to Him to see the truth about the world, and go to His Word to understand what He wants us to do.
Jesus called Himself the light of the world that will never be overcome by darkness.
Sermon Text:  John 16:32-33 (ESV) 
/    Behold, the hour is coming, indeed it has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home, and will leave me alone.
Yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.
[33] I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace.
In the world you will have tribulation.
But take heart; I have overcome the world."
