The Method of the Church: Be Salt and Light - Matthew 5:13-16

1.  What does our church do that makes our community a better place?  v. 13 

- The church should make a difference in the flavor of its community.   

 

2. If our church ceased to exists would anyone in our community know we were gone?  v. 13b

- The church ought to be good for something.

3. Does our community even know that we (Union Missionary Baptist Church) are here? v. 14

- The church ought to be a light that is extending the gospel in its community and around the world.

4. Do we minister to ourselves or do we share the blessings of God with the community? v. 15

- Is it about us or them?

5. Does our church seek to bring glory to God or to ourselves by the good works that we do? v. 16

- The purpose of all that the church does is to bring glory to God in the eyes of the community that is watching. 

Help our church be salt and light to this community.  If there are ideas of how we can do this and bring glory to the Lord, please comment!  We won't know otherwise!
