Pascal Denault - Matthieu 5.11-16 DESCRIPTION: À force d'insister sur l'importance de nous préserver du monde, nous courrons le risque d'oublier que nous sommes en mission dans le monde. Nous ne devons pas nous cacher des hommes, mais chercher leur salut en vivant devant tous comme des enfants du royaume. Négliger cela, cacher notre statut de disciple de Christ, ne pas chercher le salut des autres c'est pécher en mettant la lampe sous le boisseau. PLAN: 1. En quoi consiste ta mission? 2. Quels sont les obstacles à ta mission? 3. Comment réussir ta mission? QUESTIONS: 1. Qu'est-ce que l'insistance sur opposition entre l'Église et le monde peut créer chez les chrétiens? 2. Comment es-tu appelé à être la lumière du monde? 3. Quelle doit être la motivation principale de ta mission? 4. Qu'est-ce que chaque chrétien doit faire ou ne doit pas faire dans cette mission? 5. Pourquoi Christ est-il en mauvaise odeur au monde alors qu'il en est le Sauveur? 6. Quel genre d'opposition et d'obstacles rencontreras-tu dans ta mission? 7. Comment expliquer le succès de la mission chrétienne à l'échelle planétaire? 8. Comment peux-tu être libéré de la peur et de la honte qui freine ta mission? 9. Comment dois-tu voir la souffrance associée à ta mission?

Salt and light have become so ubiquitous in our world, so normal and easy to find, that we hardly think of them anymore. This was, for the vast majority of human history, not the case. Salt was as good as gold, and light was perhaps even more precious. These are the very things that Jesus calls us to be. Today, as we hear his familiar words, let us be reminded again of the great call and urgent need there is in us being the salt of the earth and the light of the world.

So what if Jesus was serious about His followers being the salt and light in the world? if we are salt then we can preserve the world and help prevent rot by bringing out the good in the world around us. If we are light then "Our light will shine before men" and will elicit a response. It is easy to view the world as our "enemy" but the world is not our enemy - it needs us!

Join us this week as Pastor Nathan continues in our series called The New Normal.

Most of humanity struggle to find their identity. We tend to base it on shifting emotions, habits, or careers. However, Christ calls us to something greater than an identity of self-discovery. He calls higher, to something greater.
