Guiding Light

Jan 11, 2026    Pastor Jon Neitzell

This powerful message centers on the transformative power of Scripture in making wise life decisions. Drawing from Psalm 119, we're reminded that God's Word isn't just ancient text—it's a living, active guide that illuminates our path in a dark world. The sermon explores how David became a great leader not by accident, but through intentional meditation on God's law and commandments. We discover that wisdom isn't merely intellectual knowledge; it's the practical application of Scripture to our daily choices. The message challenges us to move beyond passive Bible ownership to active engagement, emphasizing that a Bible sitting on a shelf does nothing for us. Through personal testimonies, we see how prayer combined with Scripture study leads to supernatural guidance—even in complex situations like legal matters and property decisions. The connection between Jesus as the Logos (the spoken Word) and written Scripture reveals that when we read the Bible, we're actually getting to know Christ Himself. This isn't about legalism or religious duty; it's about relationship and transformation. The darkness of this world cannot overcome the light of God's Word in our lives, making every decision an opportunity to walk in divine wisdom rather than human confusion.
