Sermon: Matthew 5:13-16
August 12th, 2006 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have finished and posted my sermon for tomorrow. It’s based on Matthew 5:13-16 and entitled The Fourth Great End: Preserve The Truth.
Here’s a portion of it:
Several years ago Sally and I were at Long Beach with some friends. While we were there a Total Lunar Eclipse took place. We went out on the beach to see the eclipse – thinking that it would be a great place to witness this wonder of nature. It was a great place to view it, but some of the streetlights from the road kept the night from being as dark as it could have been. When we realized that the streetlights might interfere with our experiencing the full effect of the eclipse, Sally made the statement:
“You know – it would be a lot darker if there weren’t so much light out here.â€
Well, the rest of us laughed and teased Sally about making such an obvious statement.
But you know what – Sally’s statement was really quite correct – even if it was obvious — it would have been a lot darker if it had not been for the light.
