Live in the Light exists to see radical transformation in God’s people through the revelation of God’s truth. We believe that through the faithful and passionate preaching of God’s Word, disciples will be made and the church will be strengthened. Our prayer is as people are impacted by Live in the Light they will be renewed in mind, reinforced in faith, and resolved in will to live in Jesus Christ.
Robbie Symons is the founding Pastor of Harvest Oakville, and the voice of Live in the Light. His greatest passion is to see Jesus Christ glorified as people realize their potential only through His amazing power. Robbie went on air in 2014, and has been speaking of the power and grace of the Lord and sharing His teachings through Live in the Light since. Robbie and his wife Gillian live in Burlington, Ontario with their four children.
Jesus showered his love, compassion and mercy on the very people that the world overlooked. He plainly tells us in Matthew 5:7 'Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy'. Christ calls us to show love and hospitality to others with a genuine heart of mercy. We are to be agents of grace and he himself modelled this for us throughout his life on earth. When we show love to the 'least of these', we show love to Christ!
If we are to be Christ followers, we simply cannot live or breathe without His helper, the Holy Spirit. Listen as Pastor Robbie continues an examination into the Holy Spirit and His divine importance. Today, we discuss John 14:16-17 and the Upper Room Discourse, when Jesus explains the role of the Holy Spirit to His disciples. Remember: the Holy Spirit is such a gift, our closest companion, our Helper, our Friend! Recognize Him, rely on Him, revere Him and get ready for Him!
Continuing our examination into what it means to know the Holy Spirit, today we turn to John 3:1-8. We learn, through the story of Jesus’ encounter with Nicodemus, that only by the Holy Spirit we are granted new spiritual life. We are all born sinners in need of a Saviour, and it is only by the saving grace of the Holy Spirit that we are granted freedom from our bondage. Jesus teaches us that the regenerating action of the Holy Spirit is as sovereign as the wind… and deeply mysterious.

Today, we begin what we pray will be an exciting, thought-provoking, heart-igniting series on the importance of the powerful doctrine of the Holy Spirit. As the Third Person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit is equal to God, as important as Jesus Christ our Saviour, and yet, we tend to undervalue His Person, Presence and Power. The Holy Spirit exists to glorify Christ… how can we surrender ourselves to Him today? Let’s find out!
