Dave Gregg: Let your light shine
In this message, Dave Gregg calls us back to Jesus’ commission: you are the light of the world. Flowing from a summer encounter at the One Voice conference, Dave urges us not just to hear the Word but to do it—together. Using simple, memorable visuals (tea-lights, a lighthouse, and a torch that widens its beam), he shows how everyday believers carry Christ’s hope into workplaces, neighborhoods, and families.
Dave gets practical: smile more, guard your words, refuse gossip, serve where you are, and give the Holy Spirit “something to work with.” He reminds us that character and integrity shine brightest, and that our light intensifies when we stand shoulder-to-shoulder as a church. The call is clear—fan the flame, be continually filled with the Spirit, and let your light reach farther than before.
