No Substitutes for the Real Thing
Sermon Series: Redeemed

Scripture: Matt. 5:14-16; Eph. 5:8
14 “You are the light of the world. A city situated on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 No one lights a lamp and puts it under a basket, but rather on a lampstand, and it gives light for all who are in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.
