“Moonlight” – Matthew 5:13-16 – SERIES: MISSION

“This little light of mine!  I’m going to let it shine.”  Most of us have sung that song since we were tiny, because it has a great message!  As Christians we are the light of the world.  Actually, we are the moonlight.  We reflect the Son!  Join us as we discuss how we can be salt and light in our world, pointing people to God by our attitudes.  We will follow Jesus in Mark as he tries to lead his disciples away from worldly thinking and toward kingdom thinking.  Sermon originally preached on February 26, 2012.

 

“Be Careful Who You Copy” – 3 John 9-13

Many of us have been through power struggles in churches and we have seen the harm that they have done.  We have seen gossip and pride render ministries ineffective or sometimes make ministries damaging rather than edifying.  But . . . how do we respond to these types of problems?  In the second half of 3 John we are invited to look into an interaction between a power player by the name of Diotrephes and the Apostle John.  And . . . we can see from John how we might be able to deal with these situations and keep ourselves from hindering the mission of the church.  Sermon originally preached on January 22, 2011.
