Sermon- Being a living Testimony for Christ

 

Text: Matthew 5:16 NRSV

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.

Theme: Being a living Testimony for Christ

Introduction:

When a child does something either good or bad. The people will ask, who's his/her parents? (Sino kaya ang mga magulang nito?)  Because many people believe in the saying " what a tree is, so its fruit" (kung ano ang puno siya rin ang bunga). In relation to the message of God today, our life brings testimony of what we believe in and who we believe in. As Christians, we have a connection with God and we are God's ambassador in this world.

God became the source of our lives. But how are we carrying the name of the Lord as we continue to live day to day?

Body: Three point- Discussion

----Know that God is the source of light. Just like how a light brings brightness to a dark room, we can let God shine in the world. God is the reason why we are able to do good.

---- Let God shine by doing good. God alone is good.  And with Jesus in our lives, we can connect to the goodness of God. Everything that we do in accordance with God's word and God's will are good. Jesus has set us an example of doing good. He gave us a commandment that we love one another. The good works that we can make are manifestations that Jesus is working in our lives.  When we clothe ourselves with love it binds us together in perfect harmony (Colossians 3:14).

 

---Glory be to the Father.  Since the source of light and al good is God alone, He is worthy of our praises and honor. We glorify God when we let him shine in our lives before others and do good for His glory. We are God's witnesses and ambassadors. God uses each one of us to magnify His name. And when we allow God's goodness to flow in our lives, the people around us will know and glorify Him.

Conclusion:

My brothers and sister in Christ, through our relationship with Jesus Christ, we believe that we are children of God. We have learned today that as Christians, we are carrying the name of the Lord. Each one of us can be a witness of God's glory. God is the light, the source of light and all good. We do good, because of Him and for Him. By doing good, we are introducing God to other people, and we are glorifying Him. Let us continue to walk in the light of God and let God's light shine before others.

 

In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Amen.

Gaano ka katagal naghintay ?

                                                                                    2-4-21 (Pila para sa National I.D.) Pamilyar tayo sa kasabihan na "kapag may tiyaga, may nilaga" . Nasubukan mo na bang maghintay? Gaano katagal? Ako, base sa aking karanasan maraming paghihintay ang naranasan ko. Paghihintay tuwing may meeting, kapag may pupuntahan, at marami pang iba. Pero ang matinding paghihihtay na naransan ko ay ang maghintay sa pila- sa lahat ng pwedeng pilahan. Naalala ko tuloy noong nag-apply ako ng scholarship sa CHED (Commission on Higher Education) sa may Quezon City. Sobrang dami kong kasabayan na mga estudyante, simula ground floor paitaas ang pila  hangang 3rd floor sa pagkakaalala ko.  Gayun pa man, ang pagtiyatiyaga...

Mark 1:14-20: The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry

  Morning Devotion January 20, 2024 Biblical Reference Mark 1:14-20   ·          In what season of life are you right now? What have you been doing? ·          If someone intervenes to you while you are doing something or you are in such a season of your life, would lend your ear and pay attention?   Read Mark 1:14-20 In the passage that we read, there is a place called Galilee where Jesus went and proclaimed the good news of God, for the time was fulfilled and there is a need to repent and believe in the good news for the Kingdom of God is near. What do you think are the Galileans doing when Jesus was proclaiming? The Galileans are doing their daily routine and their lifestyles and livelihoods. For example, fishing. In verse 16 says, “Jesus passed along the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother casting a net into the sea- for they were fishermen.” What is the releva...

"Oo" o "Hindi"

Mateo 5:37 Sabihin mo na lang na ‘Oo’ kung oo at ‘Hindi’ kung hindi, sapagkat ang anumang sumpang idaragdag dito ay buhat na sa Masama.” Ang bawat salita na ating binibitawan ay mahalaga. Dahil Ang mga salitang ito ay maaring makapagbigay ng kaliwanagan o magbigay Ng kalituhan. Dapat na maging malinaw at maingat Tayo sa ating sinasabi upang maiwasan ang Hindi pagkakaintindihan. Pinapaalala din sa atin Ng Bibiliya na huwag mangyari na pagpupuri at panlalait Ang manggaling sa bibig (James 3:10). Nais Ng Diyos na dumaloy sa atin Ang ISANG malinaw na Tubig: Ang mga salitang pawang pagpupuri, nakapagpapalakas Ng loob, puno ng pag-asa, kapakumbabaan at karunungan na nagmumula sa Diyos. Panginoon, tulungan Mo Po kami na pakaingatan Ang aming mga salita na mangagagaling sa aming bibig. Sa pangalan ni Jesus Amen.
