Napakahalaga to build a genuine relationship with your members. Ang Care Circle ay hindi lang para sa attendance o pang-sesermon kundi pagkakaroon ng relasyon sa isa’t isa at sama-samang pagtahak sa buhay.
Mga bagay na makakatulong:

Note: Hindi po kailangang daanan isa-isa ang items dito. This full sermon outline ay para maging guide ninyo sa pagrerecap ng topic.
I. INTRODUCTION
In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
John 1: 4
1. Jesus is the giver of eternal life (John 3: 16)
2. Jesus exposes our sinfulness (Romans 7: 7)
and yet He illuminates a way to be saved from it (John 8: 12)
3. Jesus implies knowledge & awareness (Colossians 2: 2)
while darkness is ignorance
4. Jesus guides & comforts
II. LIGHT FOR ALL – WHO ARE THEY?
A. THE UNBELIEVING
a. Apistia - distrust
So Jesus said to them, “The light is among you for a little while longer. Walk while you have the light, lest darkness overtake you. The one who walks in the darkness does not know where he is going. While you have the light, believe in the light, that you may become sons of light.”
John 12: 35 - 36
b. Apeitheia - stubborn
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Ephesians 5: 6
Being unbelieving is a matter of decision.
If you want to believe you CAN believe Jesus to be the light of the world.
B. THE UNWORTHY
a. Achreios - undeserving, good for nothing
And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Matthew 25: 30
b. Avval - unbecoming, not fitting or appropriate
You, however, must teach what is appropriate to sound doctrine. Teach the older men to be temperate, worthy of respect, self-controlled, and sound in faith, in love and in endurance.
Titus 2: 1 – 2
Being unworthy is not a matter of deserving nor becoming.
God has created you as unique individual for a purpose - to give light to others.
C. THE UNRIGHTEOUS
a. Atopos - evildoer
and that we may be delivered from wicked and evil men. For not all have faith.
2 Thessalonians 3: 2
b. Adikia – not faithful of heart
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions,
2 Timothy 4: 3
Unrighteous is against God’s standard and Jesus is the righteousness of God.
Draw near to Jesus – the True Light that God sees His righteousness in us.
III. CONCLUSION
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1: 5
Reflection [Magnilay-nilay]
1. Alin sa tatlong katangiang nabanggit ang nakakarelate ka? Bakit?
2. Ano ang intindi mo sa sinabi na “…Unbelieving is a matter of decision. If you want to believe you CAN believe Jesus to be the light of the world.”?
3. Sa tulong ng liwanag ng Diyos – tayo ba ay talagang “worthless”? Bakit hindi?
4. Ano ang relevance o importansya sa atin na si JESUS ay righteous?
5. Ano ang tingin mong akmang response natin sa Panginoon ngayong alam na nating Siya ang LIWANAG maging para sa mga unbelieving, ‘unworthy’, at unrighteous?
