The sermon topics have been based on the Epiphany readings set for the Church liturgical year. It's basically all about this truth: that Christ is the light of the world, who has come into our darkness. I would sum it up as an invitation to explore life outside the box.
We all have our box (mostly it is a dark box with insurmountable walls). Jesus approached a few people and lifted them out of their box ... "come and follow me" ... after that we known them as Christ's disciples. You always need someone who has explored life a little bit further on from where we are, to give us the courage and the helping hand, to move beyond our confinement.
Every child going back to school knows this. Without the teachers' input, and an attitude of learning by the student, we do not grow. Fear keeps us trapped, but faith releases us, and it releases us into a marvellous future already prepared by God - especially for you!
