In his sermon at Church of the Messiah on May 2, 2020, Kyle Kettering took his title from the reading from the prophets in Isa 49:9, where God says to the prisoners, "Come out," and to those who are in darkness, "Appear."
This seems to be a fitting text for a time when we are trying to find a balance between protection from the Coronavirus and returning to a more normal life after a period of staying at home.
Kyle observed that when Noah's family went out from the ark, his children were tasked with restarting the world (Gen 9:18-19). Similarly, the next generation plays a crucial role in carrying on a witness for God in the world, so our work in making disciples (Matt 28:19-20) begins with our young people.
