The Filament: His Light In Our Lives

Louie Giglio
September 8, 2019

Kicking off our new series, BE BRIGHT, Louie Giglio brings a powerful message of hope. For those who have put their faith in Jesus, the need to strive in order to stand out is over. Just as a lightbulb shines bright because the power running through it illuminates the filament, we are at our brightest when the power of God flows through us. This is what the world needs now: Christians whose priority is to shine brightly in their workplaces, families, and communities.

“God is not designing you to blend in; God has designed you to shine bright.”

Scripture References

1In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
12When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee.
13Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali—
14to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,

the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,

Galilee of the Gentiles—

16the people living in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of the shadow of death

a light has dawned.”

1Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan—
2The people walking in darkness

have seen a great light;

on those living in the land of deep darkness

a light has dawned.

6For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government will be on his shoulders.

And he will be called

Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,

Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

5For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
6For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
