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.

A testimony of my calling and faith journey

Gale, a graduating student at Harris Memorial College, a Bachelor of Arts in Christian Education -under the Deaconess Program. The following paragraphs will revolve around my faith journey and calling to the deaconess ministry.                 When I was in grade 7, 13 years old, I started getting involved in church work as a youth. At that time, I gradually came to know the Lord. As a teenager, my only priority was to study.
