SHINE THE LIGHT!
The theme verse for the 2025 Highlands Missions Festival is from John 1:4-5 "In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." We believe that Christ's light is more powerful than darkness. It may seem like darkness might be prevailing, but it isn't. Christ gave us his Great Commission because it is his command for us to go and make disciples of all the nations, to baptize them and teach them. And we will see His church spread and grow wider and deeper. In John 8:12, Jesus shares these inspiring words: "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." Brothers and sisters in Christ, we are children of the light, who get to share the light of the world! Our journey starts here in the Greater Jackson area, but it reaches far beyond, crossing oceans and continents to bring light to those who are walking in darkness without the gospel of grace. Our Missions Festival theme is "Shine the Light. Let it shine from shore to shore!” The symbol is a lighthouse casting light across an entire ocean. This represents our sending missionaries into all the world. Will we be a tall, strong, and bright sender of the Light in 2025? Yes! Come and experience the Great Commission by meeting our missionaries, hearing their stories, and being transformed by worship and the preaching of the Word in our shared mission.
