Be Bold in Your Faith Part 3: You Are the Light of the World Matthew 5:14-16 “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 good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. What Jesus is saying to his followers here is a declaration of truth: You are the light of the world. Not "you should try to be" or "you might become." Jesus declares that if you belong to Him, you ARE light. But here's the tension we all feel, we live in a world that constantly pressures us to dim that light, to blend in, and not to stand out. But that's not what Jesus did. He preached the good news everywhere he went and with boldness and authority. And if we want to be his disciples, he calls us to do the same. Our prayer...Jesus, fill us with courage and strength to shine our lights for Your glory and for Your kingdom. May our light shine in such a way that others see our good deeds and glorify You.Jesus, to Your great name be great glory!I love y'all!Pastor Doug

“Greater Than We Imagine”Ephesians 3:14-2114 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
