Walking in the Light (2 of 7)
Series: God Is
Cal Jernigan
1 John 1:5-2:11
Big Idea: The more you walk in the light, the brighter the world you walk in.
1) Welcome
a) All Campuses
b) Acknowledging the Summit
i) Especially those who served.
ii) Let's give a shout out of thanks to each of them!
2) Painting a Picture
a) So we're in a series called GOD IS
i) It's study of 1 John.

iv) In this culture I'm painting, people don't value the sanctity of human life... instead, they have decided that parents should have the right to determine whether or not a child of theirs should live or die. It's their call to make.
v) Because children are not valued, parents unashamedly abandon and orphan their children. Someone else can take care of them if they care to.
vi) The culture I'm painting a picture of is one that traffics in humans. It's made up of people who believe other people a ...
