LIGHT BRINGS LIFE 

December 7, 2025 / Matt Ritchey / Isaiah 42:5-9

The Light: 

The transforming and of God. 

 Three Simple Truths about Light: 

  1. : Light is only possible if it’s connected to power/fuel. 
  2. : Light is only good at the correct strength and distance. 
  3. : Light is only useful when it’s visible & unobstructed.

BIG POINT: As we are transformed and begin to live an , Spirit-Filled Life, it becomes visible to others.  

NOTES:

 Questions for Further Study: 

  • Read Isaiah 42:5-9 & Matthew 5:14-16. What are some phrases that stand out in these passages that challenge you? 
  • We defined the Light as the power and presence of God. How has the Light of Christ impacted your life? 
  • Light must be connected to a source to function. What does staying connected to God look like in your life right now? 
  • Light must be visible and unobstructed to be effective. What are some common obstructions that keep our light from shining, and how can we remove them? 
  • How do you see the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5) as evidence of God’s light in someone’s life? Which fruit do you feel God is growing most in you? 
  • Light’s strength and distance is a metaphor for our influence. How can we discern the right intensity and approach when sharing our faith? 
  • How have you experienced restoration or freedom through Christ’s light? How can the light in your life encourage others? 

Personal Reflection and Application 

  • Reconnect to the Source: Set aside intentional time each day for prayer and Scripture reading to stay connected to God’s sustaining power. 
  • Remove Obstructions: Identify one distraction, fear, or habit that dims your spiritual light and take a concrete step to address it this week. 
  • Shine Through Action: Choose one tangible way to ‘let your light shine’ (Matthew 5:16)—such as serving someone in need, encouraging a friend, or sharing your story of God’s work in your life.
