And if you are trying to help out with the campaign. We need to know right away that way we can get, and we present a bill. You can go again update enough campers come in and not, but certainly make the closeout summer they close out that we can when their older old so you're planning on helping her like to be there would like to go. Please let us know soon as possible to get that in so today regarding about the light of our lives. Jesus Christ, and that how that his word is alike to our path and Matthew chapter five verses fourteen to sixteen, and this is the message Bible is another way to put it. You're here to be like bringing out the God colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept for going public with this, as public as a city on a hill if I make you like Barris, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a basket, or under a bucket. Do you think putting you on a light stand and now that I put you there on a hilltop on a light stand shine keep open house. Be generous with your lives. By opening up to others. Your prompt people to open up with God. This generous father in heaven, and then Psalm ninety one nineteen, verse one oh five by your words. I can see where I'm going. They throw a beam of light on my dark path, and it doesn't sing and not a menacing you light up my life. In fact, good eye, so the audience that Matthew is writing what it's speaking up here Jesus is speaking and the audience. And here in Matthew chapter five was Jesus is talking about what they should be in how that young that that the disciples and the followers of Christ him in November Elizabeth court here about the life and saw solved in life and how they describe the appropriate lifestyle of disciples that this lifestyle is compared to a life, and when you live this way. People notice. So when you are alive shining in darkness. People notice. So if we want to recognize how that Jesus Christ and the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ is to affect us. It is as as if it were life in darkness, imitated as putting salt on who and so it has a definite effect and by ever dump too much salt on something that it had a definite effect my daddy. On butter bread, eggs were egg, salt, but I wouldn't exonerate out there that she could disallow himself to my home. I will outline one friend he would say never be disappointed. Software 's enough. Instead, the Marianas grab the salt shaker and thrown on Eric 's got assaulted so salt has a definite effect upon the product upon what you have and so Jesus is saying in an prior to the verse fourteen is dying about Sultanate thoughts about life, and he explains the professed disciple. Anyone who was a disciple of Jesus Christ is not live their lifestyle without way they are and as the light on a hill or solve on food and so if you don't allow your light to shine. It says if you are tasteless salt and it is invisible like my feline visible light and are you out there on you. That's blurring right to life valuation like that up in the dark. Now, so we know we all want to visible light look like it is there on, so we know that that line. There is no such thing as invisible light, and that the salt always had the own is the salt that is worthy of the name salt hazards of fact upon whatever has taste of it's a good thing that there are such a large number of people profess that they are Christians, but it's a bad thing that eighty five percent of the people who profess Jesus Christ as their Savior, or profess Christianity say that they that their faith doesn't have a genuine effect upon them. So there are people who believe in Jesus Christ say they are Christian, but their faith doesn't have an effect upon their life. And if you take that large percentage of people and stick them in this lease versus here we find that Jesus is saying. If your faith doesn't have an effect of light and salt, then something is wrong with your faith. It really is in a life-changing faith. So we live in a Christian country. We think maybe not anymore. But we live in this country that gives permission and against place for anyone's faith in some a different religions, but we have this freedom of our faith that we have a responsibility to have a relationship with Jesus Christ in such a way that it affects our life to the point other people notice that we don't live our life we noticed their elegant way. I'm a Christian. Now do it with you that you know, however, one individual 's long time ago so you don't know there is one individual that he would like. I say this, maybe I won't and did not verify if the derogatory things so forget it. But anyhow, when all Christians who profess to be one thing and declare one thing I know life is totally be up and that's not the type of life to Jesus 's is speaking about his thoughts about life and is able to to give the light of Jesus Christ that we are who we are by the spirit of God in the spirit of God works in us works in our thoughts and works in our dog doings in our vocabulary and where we walk in lovely rights and what we read, what we watch these things are part of our character and the character of Christ as their help us filter these things into KDE people that the temptations out of our life so that we can follow Jesus Christ and that following Christ gives us is a short in this life and in the life to come up the steps of a righteous man are ordered by the Lord in the bill. It is the word of God. That is the lie to our path. We read in the salt one five word is a light into my feet a lamp unto my path. It's a little like that Jesus Christ is that which is shining through honor life through our actions to help us take our next step. The good news that is that the truth of Jesus Christ does not run fall upon the claim of people who are people who claim to be Christian. Jesus Christ and his the life of the church doesn't rise and fall on everybody who says their Christian L Knapp, plus the Baptist watch out those who are using and manipulating the situation while the Christian. You can believe in the not let the light shine through your life and through your actions. We will know you will know your Christians by your love, your love for God and love for others. Jesus himself is the light that shines in our lives. We are that we are reflection of who Jesus is the tasteless salt of the tasteless Christians will be thrown and trampled underfoot. There just is not by life but Jesus is not speaking here of good deeds what he is thinking of here refers to the character, godly character, godly concern godly ideas and out and I think I've been in school and things that I never thought of this when I was but the idea of how that spirit of God that we can ask God to help us in our studies, we know not to like the one lady who propelled me to pray because they were taking it that you fail, and to get back into the uterine prayer- why is I failed the test starting a JL, so we ain't being a Christian is and that you don't study and then go and take a test that you studying last God for wisdom and understanding of how it works and how that fits together any results beat maybe beyond what your senses. You are your skills and your mindset talking help you, and even our everyday life. God can help us began to insight in the date was yesterday. Rhonda was we were at breakfast, then we're talking just as you know, you all well and so I know I had. I haven't spoken to them for a while. We, on the message was a message telephone call that very same person called about an hour later and left a message on her phone. Now it's usually identified as backwards as well. That's exactly how the pulse that God confirmed what he is doing in our life. It confirms it through ways and intersections of things that you could never plan you can never plan them and you could never make them happen that way. But God has a way of intersecting our lives with individuals that the character of God working through us in Paul's writing. He calls believers to imitate God. He describes this invitation has walking in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God that we are imitators of God walking in love to see if there is love. None of the gifts were the guests are about doing something for someone. It's about loving someone and then being able to do something for the it's about loving the church in London. The followers of Christ, and then doing something it isn't doing something and say what why'd I do get out. It is lobbing first in law becomes a motivator. Why did Jesus John three sixteen God so loved the world he gay. We love people, even the unlovable people that are trying on the fringes guy doesn't have any people on the fringes. All are individuals that he loves and cares for it is in active service list, simply alarming sacrifice of ourselves to God first and then do I name love God first and then we see on that love produced in our service of other individuals. This is a ministry assault. The light is a series of behaviors and characteristics that the lines that we are in Christ has the characteristic of the quality about that the quality of character that we do the things we do the right things for the right reasons. We follow the path that Christ has given us for the right reason, and that God will direct our steps and God will help us see the dangers that are in front of us. God can help us sidestep those things that would somehow pop out of the young, the deer in headlights. Where did he come from, and all of a sudden, you know your warning going to slow down. David never denied need a slowdown in slowdown appears on rep or the comfortable that the SP now that HS Holy Spirit never know someone; they call you, why, how does that happen all that just magic of last year 's energy from the spirit of those spirits coming and coming to my spirit and my energy field and coming get me a break. I'm hard time selling people see him abroad worth not okay. There may entertain people feel they think you know they think the answer is yes, but when I give credit to the great cosmos of love. Moonlight life extension and enlightening thing better watch the lights physical life of Jesus Christ and the delight of evil and Satan can appear as an angel of light. But the distinction in his business operation is that it is Jesus Christ was the light of the world is Jesus Christ was the light of our life is Jesus Christ who is the spirit that gives us this insight and Islamic don't attribute on the table. What belongs to God allow those saves the STRS energy on it. And if the working of the Spirit and of the gift of the Spirit working your life, and God is letting you know these things is like, understand separate what is God saw that when God speaks to you about something that just moves your heart and move your life, the outset and say I wanted that God know that it's gone. Instead, follow that because God can make you and help you take the stances you need to step and step out in faith and be out of the way all evil. I remember we remain. We were traveling down this alley is daytime was another dark alley thing you and and and and Alton may know whether it was terminating to remain healthy. There is a dark alley. I mean five. Member may have their guns. We want my guy driving down the straight and knows his car coming down the hill. So I'm wondering a negative thought the night. The car stopped. We drive mine. I looking at nobody in the car and then starts up again. He goes across the street and simple. Allow that was the unseen forces of your nose and God 's hand of God, and there are things that happen in our life became a regarding other than exactly how growing up in Alaska only times we shouldn't be here to be dead. I've done so many stupid things. There is a failure growing up on a farm area. Another stupidly wrapped up in a power to offset the is likely to Spaniard out of your going so ridiculous and leader and feel at solving that but somehow you pull out of it and how they traveled uninstalling child looking up a narrow coming down on you like, I don't think I will let through. And you fall out of the stall and you're still living. So these are things in life and of God, and what is the purpose of God. We see that the light of Jesus Christ is the light into our path alike to our path light of Christ shines in darkness the darkness doesn't create comprehended. You know you shouldn't do that with your life or why not everybody else's darkness does not comprehend why the Holy Spirit on the character says don't do that godly principles. I don't say and don't break God 's commandments blame up your life limit God conscious light and and and darkness and the males is done hurt them. Here's what in her. It has sometimes lifelong circumstance. But God has a way of speaking to Watson being alike to our path, God calls his people to be blind to the nation. Our life, our godly character isn't something we turn on by somehow having a switch that we can be Christian. One moment non-Christian. An act we have a life that is in Christ, and shines enough and it's edited in all this light have to be connected to a source, unless it ill for the shine we have to be connected to the source of the sources. Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is the power of the spirit flowing through us so that our light can shine before men, and what happens when people when the light shine before men, people notice. Christ, it is about this about him, so, God calls his people to be lights to the nation. My own depth are going to imagine what that sounds like one on the on the audio movable. That's alleviating on my mic if you didn't know it was God calls his people to the life of the nation and you and I are to be lights in the whole world. Verse fourteen says you're here to be liked, you are near to be like and and and I like this right now the God colors to the world in a few rainbows yesterday. Right now yesterday 's drive, which were I was there was a rainbow I like that one of why no rainbows follow on this Papa Smurf is, I dissolve blue inside and the Nam rainbows involve a Smurf world. I have no idea against lethal at their athletic department back. I fit on the care Marriott rainbows everywhere. What happens N O weather the storm and rain in the sun shining in a rainstorm in the bright sunshine and rain storm along on a places where the rain and sunshine, and not too far away yesterday. Now I happen advised that there is sunshine in a rainstorm. You think you're not. But we know what happens. Guess what you are the light of Christ in a troubled world and instead bring out the dog collars to the world so your life with all that goes on with the light coming through the crystals. The rain droplets. What is it called for present present when the light goes through the rain if the present of fact that brings up not press on prism. I'm going to the present pastor 's editorial rainbow now you are unlike to the world and has the light shines through the rain droplets. It is a prison, and that present creates the rainbow, you are the light of Christ and as it enters people 's lives in the difficulties. There is a present of fact and the God colorist of the early God brings out is when Bob and grace and forgiveness and kindness and gentleness and mercy in July, MPs and patients when that light shines. It brings out the broad colors in the world, so whenever we read this in the message Bible. You're here to be liked. Bring out the God colors to the world. We are the sunshine in the store. We are the light of Christ in the darkness of people 's lives. Light brings out God 's colors. This love is not a sacred to be kept. It is very the word to be put on trial. Have I known you were put on trial in the premier Christian with a being of evidence convicted while I highlight I like it. If we were put on trial for the amount of God character, we generated we light a lifelong light of the world. Anyhow, Matthew five Jesus says were going public with this where going public with this as a whole as public as this video e-mail. The message of Jesus Christ is like a city set on a hill, you can cancel out of line. Never drive this young lady going to Pittsburgh are going to Washington DC or Baltimore. No cities you driving their night. If you lie down the distance you know that you are getting close to the city, causing the light that shines in the distance. Jesus says you don't think I'm going to guide going to hide you under a bucket. You think I ever gave you the slides and then put a bucket over your life God gives us as a light design. I'm putting you on a lifespan in your here to shine. Psalm one oh five says by your words. I can see where I'm going. They throw a beam of light on my dark path. The life of Jesus Christ is the light that shines on our dark path. Not only are we, unlike the world will be drawn to the light to our lives. And whenever we are not doubt the darkness of decision-making God 's word is alike to our path that we know that this is the path we are to take because the light of God shines on it. The nature of the word of God is that it is a laughable light the nature of God 's word is alive. It is there to give us a sense of direction and darkness yelp. Otherwise, we wouldn't have knowledge of it, we would have knowledge of this life and I want to shine our life. Whatever knowledge of God has a way of bringing it out than an end, creating a sense of direction, creating a purpose for life. It is a land which we may set up may set up BIOS and and God has a way of making that lab light up so that we can see were rebelling and no were going in that we have a common direction. The word is a laugh, Islam, and in the Psalms. It also says that we together again with your word God, teach me your holy rules the wicked do their best to throw me off track but I don't swerve an inch. I inherited your book on living, it's mine forever as a gift. The word of God the wide unto our allies to our life and a light to the world around God is the treasure and any saving them. It is in the light of God shining in the darkness and the darkness is the prison brings out the God color so you are a rainbow of life in a rainbow what another might create that rainbow in your life where you are going in the life of Jesus Christ shines on our path, and he gives us direction. His is a sense of where we are going, what we are to do with our life. Well, God is going to work in us to create create life. I give us hope in this life and the like to come it is the word of God that comes to us in our hearts, our lives. The character by character God colors. The colors of God in his love is gracious mercy. God hears us when we pray, father, thank you, thank you for being the treasure that we have in our life. Thank you Lord for your blessings that you give to us. Thank you for the life that you are to our path. The life you are to our life and that Lord we become that life as a city set on a hill. You make a fist like not that puts it under a bucket. The Lord to let it shine. The Brenda God, your God colors to the world around. Let it shine through us more, not by something we create. But as we are reflective of who you are, challenge our character change our character. Give us your thoughts on God. Let us see your hand upon us as we go through each day in our life. We pray in Jesus name and everyone said amen, unless itAnd if you are trying to help out with the campaign. We need to know right away that way we can get, and we present a bill. You can go again update enough campers come in and not, but certainly make the closeout summer they close out that we can when their older old so you're planning on helping her like to be there would like to go. Please let us know soon as possible to get that in so today regarding about the light of our lives. Jesus Christ, and that how that his word is alike to our path and Matthew chapter five verses fourteen to sixteen, and this is the message Bible is another way to put it. You're here to be like bringing out the God colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept for going public with this, as public as a city on a hill if I make you like Barris, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a basket, or under a bucket. Do you think putting you on a light stand and now that I put you there on a hilltop on a light stand shine keep open house. Be generous with your lives. By opening up to others. Your prompt people to open up with God. This generous father in heaven, and then Psalm ninety one nineteen, verse one oh five by your words. I can see where I'm going.

I'm going to the present pastor 's editorial rainbow now you are unlike to the world and has the light shines through the rain droplets. It is a prison, and that present creates the rainbow, you are the light of Christ and as it enters people 's lives in the difficulties. There is a present of fact and the God colorist of the early God brings out is when Bob and grace and forgiveness and kindness and gentleness and mercy in July, MPs and patients when that light shines. It brings out the broad colors in the world, so whenever we read this in the message Bible. You're here to be liked. Bring out the God colors to the world. We are the sunshine in the store. We are the light of Christ in the darkness of people 's lives. Light brings out God 's colors. This love is not a sacred to be kept. It is very the word to be put on trial. Have I known you were put on trial in the premier Christian with a being of evidence convicted while I highlight I like it. If we were put on trial for the amount of God character, we generated we light a lifelong light of the world. Anyhow, Matthew five Jesus says were going public with this where going public with this as a whole as public as this video e-mail. The message of Jesus Christ is like a city set on a hill, you can cancel out of line. Never drive this young lady going to Pittsburgh are going to Washington DC or Baltimore. No cities you driving their night. If you lie down the distance you know that you are getting close to the city, causing the light that shines in the distance. Jesus says you don't think I'm going to guide going to hide you under a bucket. You think I ever gave you the slides and then put a bucket over your life God gives us as a light design. I'm putting you on a lifespan in your here to shine. Psalm one oh five says by your words. I can see where I'm going. They throw a beam of light on my dark path. The life of Jesus Christ is the light that shines on our dark path. Not only are we, unlike the world will be drawn to the light to our lives. And whenever we are not doubt the darkness of decision-making God 's word is alike to our path that we know that this is the path we are to take because the light of God shines on it. The nature of the word of God is that it is a laughable light the nature of God 's word is alive. It is there to give us a sense of direction and darkness yelp. Otherwise, we wouldn't have knowledge of it, we would have knowledge of this life and I want to shine our life. Whatever knowledge of God has a way of bringing it out than an end, creating a sense of direction, creating a purpose for life. It is a land which we may set up may set up BIOS and and God has a way of making that lab light up so that we can see were rebelling and no were going in that we have a common direction. The word is a laugh, Islam, and in the Psalms. It also says that we together again with your word God, teach me your holy rules the wicked do their best to throw me off track but I don't swerve an inch. I inherited your book on living, it's mine forever as a gift. The word of God the wide unto our allies to our life and a light to the world around God is the treasure and any saving them. It is in the light of God shining in the darkness and the darkness is the prison brings out the God color so you are a rainbow of life in a rainbow what another might create that rainbow in your life where you are going in the life of Jesus Christ shines on our path, and he gives us direction. His is a sense of where we are going, what we are to do with our life. Well, God is going to work in us to create create life.

The colors of God in his love is gracious mercy. God hears us when we pray, father, thank you, thank you for being the treasure that we have in our life.
