    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

    We're the light of the world and children of light. Allow that light to shine brightly in our lives to light up those around us. Let’s expose their deeds as we seek to shine brightly for Jesus, so that they may be quickened and made light themselves.

    This is an image from my childhood that has just stuck with me. It’s from one of those movies that we used to watch over and over again, at least every holiday. It’s from the last of the original, and good, Star Wars movies. In my mind, it’s one of the pivotal scenes from the ...read more

    A little boy was asked, "What is a saint?" He replied, "A Saint is a person who lets the light shine through." Evidently he got this idea by watching the sun shine through the prophets of God in the stained-glass windows of his church.

    Can you name the top two Christmas lighted "tree toppers?" Do you know why they grace most Christmas Trees? And do you know the kind of light that Jesus prefers?

    OPEN: In many homes across the US, and around the world various families have set up Christmas trees. And these trees have all kinds of lights and ornaments on them But there is one decoration that stands out from the rest, because it sits on top of the tree, all by itself. It’s called a tree ...read more

    God’s constant presence brings hope and steadiness in our darkest, most anxious moments, reminding us that His light always shines and overcomes.

    Some of us walked in today with a quiet ache we can’t quite name. Sleep came late. Worry came early. Headlines are heavy, homes feel hurried, and hearts can feel hollowed out by the constant ache of a hard week. We carry questions to our pews: Will the light hold? Will hope last? Does God really ...read more

    We are called to be the salt and light of the world.
