New Year. Sames Promises: Guidance (Salt & Light)

Sermon excerpt: 

So Jesus commends the people to let their light shine—living in the empire but not as part of the empire. God didn’t create them give in and hide their light but to BE a light, to reflect God’s light into the darkness—not to expose and to judge, but to guide, like a lighthouse whose “lower lights be burning,” shining brightly from the shore in the midst of a storm.

And Jesus commends the people to be salt, to make what is bland come alive; to live out their faith with some extra flavor and zest, and to make others thirsty for the kingdom of heaven.[1]
