Pastor John D. Putnam
In this illuminating message titled “God’s Light, God’s Order,” Pastor John D. Putnam explores the powerful connection between God’s presence, divine clarity, and the chaos of our world. Drawing from Genesis 1, he shows how God’s first act—speaking light into darkness—was not just a moment of creation, but a blueprint for transformation. With passionate storytelling and personal insight, Pastor Putnam reminds us that darkness—whether spiritual confusion, fear, or bondage—cannot withstand the light of Christ. As God hovered over the void in the beginning, He still hovers over our chaos today, waiting for an invitation to speak light, order, and peace into our lives. This message calls listeners to stop living in spiritual darkness and allow God’s Word to illuminate their steps, reorder their lives, and lead them out of fear into faith. If you’re navigating uncertainty or longing for divine direction, this sermon is a timely encouragement to let God shine His light into every corner of your heart.

Episode Notes
Main Point: When God’s Light Enters, Order Follows
- In the beginning, the earth was formless and dark—but God’s first move was to send light. That light brought distinction, clarity, and structure.
- Spiritually, we live in a world plagued by darkness—sin, confusion, fear, disorder—but God’s light still brings peace and direction.
Key Scripture: Genesis 1:3
- “And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.”
- God doesn’t fear the dark—He speaks into it. And wherever He speaks, life and order emerge.
Major Themes
- Light Comes Before Order: Before anything could be created, God had to first bring light. That’s how He still works in us today.
- Darkness Represents Chaos: Without God, life remains void, confused, and directionless.
- Jesus is the Light of the World: His presence dispels darkness—not just in creation, but in our hearts and lives.
- The Word Illuminates: God’s Word brings light, and that light brings divine alignment to every aspect of our lives.
- There Is Hope for the Chaotic: No matter how “formless” your world may feel, God is near and ready to bring transformation.
Reflection Questions:
- What areas of my life feel “formless and void”?
- Am I inviting God’s Word into my daily routine so His light can bring order?
- Have I let darkness stay longer than it should?
