Rev Bill

I have posted my sermon from yesterday on my sermon blog.
It’s the second on my Sermon On The Mount series — this one based on Matthew 5:13-16 and entitled: Walk Like Jesus Taught: Walk Like Jesus Walked.

Here’s a portion of it:

Jesus calls His followers “the light of the world” – shining His truth – His love – His will – into a world that would indeed be mighty dark if it were not for the Light of Christ. If we are going to be the people God intends for us to be, walking as Jesus taught – walking as Jesus walked — we are going to have to be committed to living as Jesus lived – and being the salt and light for the world Jesus calls us to be.
We are going to have to be committed to shining the light of Christ into the world.
We are going to have to be committed to letting the light shine through the way we live – the things we say – the things we do. We are going to have to be committed to shining the light of Christ into the world – the world that would be mighty dark without the light of Christ.
We are going to have to be committed to the power of prayer.
We are going to have to be committed to the power of the truth.
We are going to have to be committed to the power of example.
We are going to have to be committed to the power of the group.
We are going to have to be committed to using these powers Jesus gives us for His glory.
Walk Like Jesus Taught – Walk Like Jesus Walked
Walk Like Jesus Taught – Walk Like Jesus Walked
You are the salt of the earth.
You are the light of the world.
Yes – the world can be dark and sinful. But – in that darkness and sin – we can shine the light of Christ. Through our prayers, our commitment to showing God’s truth in the way we live, our commitment to being an example for others, and our commitment to working together as a group of Christians empowered by God to make a difference in the world, we can shine the light of Christ in the world.
