Good morning, church family! It’s such a blessing to be here with you today as we step into the light of God’s Word together. Whether this is your first time here or you’ve been with us for years, I want you to know this: God has something beautiful in store for you today. Let’s open our hearts and minds to His presence, ready to receive the hope and purpose He has for us.

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, we come into Your presence with gratitude and joy. Thank You for the light of Your love that breaks through every darkness. Open our hearts to Your Word today. May Your Spirit speak to us, transform us, and guide us as we seek to live out Your purpose for our lives. We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Introduction to Scripture

The passage we’ll explore today is Isaiah 60:1-6. It’s a prophetic message filled with hope and promise. This chapter paints a picture of God’s glory shining on His people and the world being drawn to His light. It’s a call to rise up, step into His purpose, and reflect His glory.

The Events in Isaiah 60:1-6

This scripture speaks of a time when God’s light will shine upon His people, even in the midst of deep darkness. Nations will be drawn to the light, and the glory of God will be revealed for all to see. It’s a vision of restoration, hope, and the fulfillment of God’s promises.

NIV Bible Verse: Isaiah 60:1-6

1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.
2 See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you.
3 Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn.
4 “Lift up your eyes and look about you: All assemble and come to you; your sons come from afar, and your daughters are carried on the hip.
5 Then you will look and be radiant, your heart will throb and swell with joy; the wealth on the seas will be brought to you, to you the riches of the nations will come.
6 Herds of camels will cover your land, young camels of Midian and Ephah. And all from Sheba will come, bearing gold and incense and proclaiming the praise of the Lord.”

Intercessory Prayer

Lord, thank You for being our light in dark times. Help us to arise and shine, reflecting Your love and truth to those around us. May Your glory draw others to You through our words and actions. Strengthen us to be a beacon of hope in a hurting world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Congregational Prayer Response

Father, we thank You for the light of Your glory. Help us to reflect that light in our lives, bringing hope and joy to others. May we always walk in the purpose You have for us. Amen.
