Introduction:

• Luke 24:1-6
• Welcome to our Sunrise Service, a moment when creation itself seems to pause and breathe as the first light breaks across the horizon. There is something sacred about gathering at this early hour. Before the world fully awakens, before our minds fill with noise, we stand quiet where God often speaks the clearest.
• Today we reflect on “The Light that Find Us.” Not the light that we chase, not the light that we earn, but the light that comes searching for us, right where we are. Just as the sun rises faithfully whether we are ready or not, the light of Christ reaches into every shadowed place of our lives with grace that refuses to give up on us.
• Some of us came this morning carrying joy. Some come carrying questions. Some come carrying burdens we have held far too long. But the good news is that light of God does not wait for us to be perfect, polished, or prepared. It finds us in our doubt, in our weariness, in our longing. It brings hope.
• As the sky brightens around us, may we open our hearts to the One who said, “I am the light of the world.” May this rising sun remind us that no night lasts forever, no darkness is too deep for God’s love to break through.
• Let us worship the God whose light find us, restores us, and leads us into a new day.
