    Matthew 5:13-16 July 29, 2007 When someone looks at you, other than looking at your extraordinary good looks, what do they see? If we could really cut to the chase, it’s not about those good looks, it’s about who you are in Jesus! Over the past week we have had some major controversies in the ...read more

    A message on being a reflection of God in the darkness of this world

    In the first chapter of the Bible, God's very first recorded words were "Let there be light" (Gen 1:3 NIV). In Hebrew, it says, "Light, become!, and light became!" In that single finite moment, before time began, the infinite God spoke the Universe into existence. He ...read more

    "Salt and Light" is a part of the Sermon on the Mount series. We look at both the qualities of being salt (creates thirst, a seasoning, part of the sacrifice, and preservative), and light (exposes and guides).

    Sermon on the Mount “Salt and Light” Matthew 5:13-16 There are two things that we value that seem so insignificant at first, they don’t even come up on our radar, but they’re actually needed for our survival. The first is salt. Too little of it and your food can be under ...read more

     | 839 views

    If we are willing to turn toward truth, even though it means we have to admit we have been wrong, then we will find ourselves being drawn to Jesus.

    How often have you heard someone say, “it’s not fair for God to punish otherwise good people who don’t believe in Jesus?" It’s like saying, “It’s not fair that I can’t see the Statue of Liberty without going to New York.” That’s where it is! And yet God has not only given us maps and signposts ...read more

     | 13,659 views

    1. Jesus was telling us not to live for the kingdom of the world, but the Kingdom of God. 2. Jesus is saying that we play an important role in the life of the world as salt and light. 3. Jesus was talking about a new way of obedience.

    It is no accident that Jesus talked about us being salt and light immediately after he spoke the Beatitudes. It is in learning how to think as Jesus thought and live as he lived in submissions to God, that we become agents of healing and light in the world. It is when we live as people who do not ...read more

    God gives mankind an opportunity to move from Spiritual Darnkness to Eternal Light.

    Text: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it” (John 1:5). Is there anyone here who prefers the darkness to the light? I am talking about the darkness of night as compared to the lightness of day. I would venture to say that most of us remember the days of the ...read more

    We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. We are not called to withdraw from public life into our safe and cozy Christian circles. We are called to make a difference in a world full of darkness, fear, violence, and foolishness.

    [Sermon preached on 21 October 2018, Reformation Sunday / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We sing it almost every Sunday in church with the kids: “This little light of mine—I’m gonna let it shine. Everywhere I go, I’m gonna let it shine.” But I wonder how many of us really think about what we sing. ...read more

    Many of us were afraid of the dark as children. Should we be afraid of the dark as adults too? Light is good. Light is knowledge. Light is the protection of our Lord.

    Move to the light It’s normal to be apprehensive when we feel vulnerable and when we can’t see clearly it contributes to that vulnerability. In other words, being afraid of the dark and yes, when I was little, I was very afraid of the dark. It didn’t help that we lived in a creaky old house ...read more
