Scripture Matthew 5:13-20 Mary Meckenstock
“You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how
can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except
to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the
world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people
light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your
light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and
glorify your Father in heaven.
Sermon The Bold Tribe That Shines Susan Murithi, Senior Pastor
Faithful Stewardship 2 Corinthians 8:7 Mary Meckenstock
Since you excel in everything—in faith, speech, knowledge, and love—see
that you also excel in the grace of giving.
Congregational Prayer: “Gracious Lord, You’ve called us to excel in faith,
In speech, in knowledge, and in love. Help us to excel in the grace of
giving. Let generosity flow from hearts full of Your love, and may we give
not out of obligation, but as an overflow of all You’ve given us. Amen.”
