In Your Shoes

Week 4 - The Kids are Watching
John 8:12 and Matthew 5:14-16


This little light of mine…
Hide it under a bushel - no!
Won’t let Satan blow it out
Shine all over Summerville

When you’re a kid, light

the darkness.

As an adult, we use light to push away darkness, but also to

.

In other words, our light shifts from being helpful, comforting, useful to us - and starts to be something we can use to also help others (“Let me shed light on that for you.”)


Jesus said two things about the light -

1.

is the light of the world

12 When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” —John 8:12

2.

are the light of the world

14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 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.16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. —Matthew 5: 14-16


I’m gonna let it shine?
1. You can’t hide it
2. You can’t let Satan blow it out
3. You can’t keep it to yourself and wait for someone to notice
