IS CAMPUS LIGHT A C*LT? 👀

Jesus the Good Shepherd (John 10:1-18)
Happy New Years! In our first sermon of 2026, Jon continues our series in the book of John by exploring the first part of John 10. As the chapter discusses, Jon expands on the imagery of a Good Shepherd to contrast the selfless protection offered by Christ with the destructive nature of modern-day "hired hands" and "wolves." Jon argues that humans are inherently vulnerable like sheep, requiring a leader who knows them personally and provides vigilant care. Central to the mess

Thanksgiving and Christmas Volunteering!
Since Thanksgiving and Christmas are all about quality time with people, we went volunteering at a couple different elderly homes near Rutgers to spend some time with the elderly and share about God’s love with them! During Thanksgiving season, we shared with the residents about the Bible story in Luke 17, how Jesus healed 10 lepers and only returned to thank Jesus, reminding us of the importance of giving gratitude where it’s due. For Christmas, we sang some Christmas carol

God with Us (Matthew 1:18-25) | Christmas 2025
Why did the Creator God choose an "absurd humble arrival," laid in a manger by peasant parents, rather than a magnificent entrance? To kick off our Christmas series, Pastor Jon examines the shocking claim of Christmas, revealing two fundamental truths about God through his unexpectedly peculiar arrival: His love and His immense power.

Give Thanks (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18)
This week at our Thanksgiving service, Jon brings us a message from 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18: "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances." Jon addresses the difficulty of obeying these commands, especially the call to give thanks in all circumstances, due to the inherent negativity bias of human nature. Jon presents three main ways Christians can give thanks during hardship: recognizing that bad circumstances can reveal hidden goodness, that good o

Jesus Feeds the 5,000 (John 6:1-14)
This week, Jordan brings a message based on John 6:1-14, the story of Jesus feeding the 5000. Jordan starts by prompting us to think about our default mindset: optimism versus pessimism. Jesus then dives into Jesus's compassion for the crowd and the principle that "something is better than nothing," emphasizing how Jesus multiplies even meager offerings when placed in His hands, such as the boy's five loaves and two fish. Jordan challenges us to offer their small resources, l

The Pool of Bethesda (John 5:1-9)
Continuing our series through the Gospel of John, Jon explores the story of Jesus healing the invalid man at the Pool of Bethesda from John 5:1-9. Jon analyzes the pool as a location crowded with a multitude of invalids, the blind, lame, and paralyzed, all gathered due to a myth that an angel would occasionally stir the water, healing the first person to step in. Jon frames this ancient superstition as a "cruel lie", drawing a parallel between the pool and the "many pools" in

Science & Faith: Are They Mortal Enemies?
This past week we hosted Apologetics Sunday — a time to get tough questions about belief in God answered. Our resident chemical engineering PhD, Xunkai, uses principles of apologetics — the defense of faith using logic and reasoning — to demonstrate that science and faith are not contradictory but mutually supportive. He talks about the limits of science, how faith helps science, and how science supports faith.

Finding Living Water (John 4)
This week, continuing our series in the book of John, we move from Jesus’s encounter with Nicodemus to his revolutionary conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4. Pastor Jon explores four core truths from this encounter: 1) Jesus meets us in our shame, 2) Jesus reveals our soul thirst, 3) Jesus satisfies with truth and love, and 4) Jesus transforms our shame into joy. We also hear powerful testimonies from Campus Light mentors, Xunkai and Lily, on finding s

After the service this past Sunday, we visited two elderly care homes around the area! We sang a hymn together, and then our very own Ron (senior) and Christy (sophomore) gave a message at each home on Jesus feeding the 5000.
