Pastor Chris Andrews (Associate Pastor) - Matthew 5 (Matthew 5:9 & 13-48; 16:24; Ecclesiastes 7:9; Romans 5:8; 12:19-21; Proverbs 12:22; Ephesians 4:25; Colossians 3:9)

 

Let's explore what it means to be the light of the world! Discover how you can put Jesus’ teachings into practice in your everyday life. Come and learn about true Christian living in message #2 of our series called “Be Light”.

 

Series description: Christians are called to be salt and light. Salt is savory, light is seen and bright. When we are lighting the world as we are called to, the world around us sees our good works and is influenced to glorify God. Unfortunately, our souls can get heavy with sin and distractions that keep us from being the light.

In this three-week journey, we will explore how the burdens of life and the world have dimmed our light, hindering our ability to radiate the love and message of Jesus. Discover the wisdom Jesus imparts to lift the burdens of our souls, enabling us to shine brightly as beacons of hope in a darkened world. Rediscover how to lighten your soul and embrace your role as the salt and light of the world.
