  • To Evangelize or Not: Our Responsibility to Spread the Good News
    Jun 8 2023

    In this week's topic, we delve into the idea of evangelism and our responsibility to spread the good news of Jesus. Should we boldly proclaim the gospel to others or only do so if we feel convicted by the Holy Spirit? Who is supposed to evangelize, and is it a biblical concept or a man-made doctrine? We explore these questions more as we examine the Great Commission in Matthew 28:16-20. Join us as we discuss the importance of tact, empathy, and love in our approach to evangelism and how tending to the field before planting the seed can make all the difference. Let's focus on what God has in front of us right now and walk with the Holy Spirit through it all.#evangelize #spreadthegoodnews #christianity #jesus #faith #gospel #salvation #love #bible #church #missionary #apologetics #christianlife #hope #belief #christianministry #christianwitness #discipleship #God #evangelism

  • Men: Break the Cycle of Emotional Silence Now!
    May 25 2023

    We're diving into one of the most significant issues that strong men face in today's society: the lack of emotional vulnerability. Men are pressured by societal pressure to "man up," not show emotions, and be tough. This can lead to burying emotions until they become too heavy to bear. But we're here to break that cycle and discuss the importance of leaning on each other with a Biblical perspective. We're all created for a purpose; living that out starts with vulnerability. While it's not easy, the work to get to a place of emotional vulnerability is worth it. Your friends and family will thank you, and most importantly, you'll be able to break free from the weight holding you back and walk in the light Jesus has called you to. If you're ready to join a community of like-minded individuals also seeking emotional vulnerability, our men's group is open and ready to meet you. Shoot us a DM on IG or FB @lightyourlamp. Let's break free from the weight together.

  • John 19: You WON'T Believe Pilate's Struggle & What Jesus Did for Mary! 'It Is Finished
    May 23 2023

    As we dive into John 19 and talk about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, were pulling out three things that really stood out to us. The first being of Pilate; as he struggles with finding Jesus guilty of anything, he is overcome by the pressure of the thousands gathered telling him what to do. The next is that Jesus ensures that His mother (Mary) is cared for by the one he loves. Lastly, we will discuss "it is finished" and the statement's impact on us. We know there is a lot to unpack here and talk about, and we cover it all, but these three things are what we feel the Holy Spirit is leading us to share. No chatbot script, straight from the Spirit. If you get to the end, you will see that Ben needed to take a moment to sit and collect himself before closing out.

    Also, don't forget our Bible studies are now on Tuesdays. We look forward to diving into scripture with you and can't wait to hear how God is moving in your life. Let us know in the comments.

  • Breaking Free from Shame
    May 18 2023

    We dive deep into the topic of shame and how it can hold us back from living the abundant life God designed for us. Shame can be an overwhelming and debilitating emotion, but rest assured, there is hope!

    Step 1: Seek First the Kingdom of God (Matthew 6:33) The first step to breaking free from shame is to prioritize seeking God's kingdom above all else. By seeking His presence, we invite Him to transform our hearts, heal our wounds, and reveal His purpose for our lives. Through heartfelt prayer, studying His Word, and cultivating a personal relationship with Him, we discover the unconditional love and acceptance that can liberate us from the chains of shame.

    Step 2: Embrace God's Forgiveness and Grace One of the greatest gifts God offers us is His forgiveness and grace. No matter the mistakes we've made or the shame we carry, God's love remains unwavering. By accepting His forgiveness, we can let go of the burdens of shame, knowing that we are redeemed and made new in Christ. This step encourages us to lean on God's grace and extend that same grace to ourselves and others, fostering a culture of compassion and freedom

    Step 3: Embody Your God-Given Purpose and Identity God has uniquely designed each of us with purpose and identity. To overcome shame, we must embrace the truth that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image. By aligning our lives with God's purpose, we step into the fullness of who He created us to be. This step encourages us to embrace our gifts, passions, and talents, using them to make a positive impact in the world and bring glory to His name.

    Join us in this transformative journey as we explore the power of scripture and discover the freedom that comes from breaking free from shame. You don't have to carry the weight of shame any longer; God is ready to restore, renew, and equip you to live in the fullness of your purpose and identity. Subscribe now and embark on this life-changing adventure with us!

  • John 18 - When the rooster crows
    May 15 2023

    We see a lot happen in this chapter of John this week during our Bible study. First, we see Jesus cross a river to enter a garden (don't worry, Lauren will sing it in the video) red because of all the blood from the lambs being sacrificed. We then head to seeing Peter courageously slice a man's ear and, shortly after, distance himself from Jesus. This stems from what we see as shame and festers in Peter and becomes much bigger. We believe the rooster crowing is more than just a coincidence. This is at around the fifteen-minute mark. I mean, let's be real is anything from God a coincidence? We then head on the not-so-noble Pilot, who is only on the throne he is on from a marriage to a granddaughter of Ceasers. We continue this story next week with a big one. So please subscribe and turn on the bell notification. It helps us tremendously and spreads the truth to a lot more people. Only you have the power to do that.

    FoLLow us!!

  • Light Your Lamp the origin story: taking you on a ride through how we got here and where were going
    May 11 2023

    You may know about our podcast; since you are here, you know about our youtube channel. What you may not know is Why. As we scroll aimlessly from one video to the next, we never stop and ask why this is on here. What is the heart behind what they are doing? Sure, some are to entertain and bring in loads of cash. That's not us. Light Your Lamp is a registered 501 c(3) aiming to go out online and into local communities and spread the Gospel. Yea, yea, I hear you. Aren't people already doing that? The simple answer is yes, but they alone are not enough; go ahead and ask them. There need to be more authentic people talking about Jesus, and the few mega pastors or influencers available to us online are not enough. We were all called to the great commission, not just those select few. Where we step in is helping people restore their identity. We do that through scripture readings, passing out Bibles, spending time with lost and broken people, and looking for the light Jesus has for them. Were simply vessels being used by God to do KINGDOM work. In the video, we talk about how we got to where we are now and, just as importantly, how you can be a part of this movement. We need you, so check out why in the last few minutes of the video. Love - Team LYL
