INTRODUCTION: Light is a very important aspect of life, the absence of which speaks of dullness, chaos, confusion. No wonder at the very beginning, God first commanded that there be light before continuing with the work of creation(Gen.1:1-2). God Himself is the Light (Rev 21:22)

Importance of Light:- • Light gives illumination and direction. Ps 119:105 • No creation OR order until you receive light on the matter Gen 1:1-2, Dan 9:1-2 • Pure, irresistible, all-conquering Jn 1:5, Matt 4: 4-7 ...read more

True Christians cannot remain secret for long.

SALT AND LIGHT. Matthew 5:13-16. The metaphors of salt and light follow immediately after Jesus’ profile of the blessed Christian. The meek shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5) because meekness is not weakness, but quite the contrary. The peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) are surely not merely sitting ...read more

Be careful, O Christian, of what you are eating and what you are offering to others to eat.

You Are the Salt of the Earth Matthew 5:13 Introduction Last week, we saw that the Beatitudes of Jesus were not the “be happy attitudes” of Robert Schuller.

In our Scripture today, Jesus is saying that as the salt of the earth, and the light of the world, how we live and what we do is supposed to somehow draw those who are far from God to Jesus. We do this by sharing our faith

Share Matthew 5:13-15 When it comes to sharing our faith, many of us have some anxiety about doing so. The idea that we have to talk to somebody about our faith is nerve wracking. Many of us want to but fear usually keeps us from doing it. Here are some of the fears that have been mentioned to me: ...read more
