Being Light Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Aug 14, 2023

The Beatitudes teach the qualities that God works in the character of Christ's disciples. Then in Matthew 5:13-16 the emphasis turns to the influence Christians are to have in the world around them. The point of our text is that we let our light shine.

Now we want to learn from the second metaphor, light. Our text today is Matt 5:14-16: "You are ...read more
