    Contributed by Pastor Jeff Hughes on Jan 9, 2014
     | 3,454 views

    Part II of the series

    Last week, we started this two part "mini-series" of messages in the first part of the Sermon on the Mount, commonly known as The Beatitudes. To the unsaved, they would seem to be insane at first glance: you will be happy if you are poor, if you weep, if you are a 98 pound weakling, if you give ...read more

    Jesus uses two great illustrations of what the Christian is. 1-Salt-To prevent decay and corruption, to flavor to living, to bring healing. 2-Light-To dispense and disperse light to a dark world!

    Matthew 5:14-16-“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify ...read more

    Contributed by Daniel King, D. Min. on Jun 21, 2014
     | 13,575 views

    This sermon challenges the audience to be a shining light in the midst of a dark world.

    Text: “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your ...read more

     | 4,838 views

    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. What Jesus says here is far more profound that the shallow interpretation that Schuller offers. Schuler gives advice which might provide ...read more

     | 5,200 views

    Isn't Jesus "the" light of the world? Why does Jesus call us the same?

    You Are the Light of the World Matthew 5:14-16 Like the previous verse concerning the believer being the “salt of the earth”, verse 14 begins with the emphatic “you”. This means that the true disciples of Jesus who hears His words and puts them into practice stands in a unique position as “the ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,304 views

    Is Jesus making the Law binding upon Christians in these verses?

    Neither Jot, nor Tittle Matthew 5:17-19 This text has many emphatic markers in the Greek which indicates that what Jesus says here is to be taken with all seriousness. We need to be reminded again that the Sermon on the Mount was preached to His disciples in the light of dividing the true ...read more

    Jesus no ordinary man and if we want to escape the ordinary life we need to plug into Jesus!

    INTRODUCTION • SLIDE #1 • Ordinary- not remarkable or special in any way, and therefore uninteresting and unimpressive • Isn’t that what we all strive for in life? Ordinary? • When Jesus began His ministry it became obvious to all that He was ANYTHING but ...read more

  • Light Of The World

    Contributed by Peter Adigizi David on Nov 8, 2013
     | 3,853 views

    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

    Stewardship message, designed as a dialogue between the pastor and a lay reader, and focusing on all the light we as a church now shed, but also could share, with adequate personnel and finances. Ends with a candlelighting ceremony.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, Nov. 11, 1990 Pastor: One Christian organization that is concerned with helping people who have emotional problems uses as its slogan, "It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness."

    Far to many times I have heard someone share that they know someone who says they are a Christian, but their life is impure. It literally destroys the witness of Christ when believers do not live out their faith. So, are you the real deal? Updated February 2023.
