| This holiday season, as the candles and Christmas lights shine on the rooftops and windowsills, their warm glow reminds us that we were meant to "be a light". This five week series will guide us through the concept of being a light. Week 1: Called to Be a Light Week 2: Being a Light Week 3: Light Shines Brightest in Dark Places Week 4: Shining Your Brightest Week 5: Many Responses to the Light Matthew 5:16 You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. - The Message |
