OUR MESSAGE FOR TODAY’S SUNDAY SERVICE ON 5/25/2014 IS: SUBJECT: THE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD TOPIC: THE BLESSINGS OF THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT DATE: SUNDAY MAY 25, 2014 READING SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 5:1-20 CREATED TO BE THE SALT AND LIGHT OF THE WORLD: 1. It is very important for us as children of God to follow the examples of Jesus Christ while he was on earth. His purpose of coming is to impart knowledge on us so that we can impart on others. Teaching others what they do not know is a Godly character and we must do it with love to uplift Gods kingdom. See verses 1-2 2. The Sermon on the Mount by our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching on the Beatitudes is one of the examples by the Lord himself imparting words of knowledge to every one of us today on earth, on how to walk in Godly character. Read the Beatitudes. See verses 3-12. 3. As a true Christian who is redeemed and justified through the blood we are supposed to rejoice at all times, be it in times of trials, challenges or in times of peace. We should be able to give thanks to God because we are the salt of the world and we must have evidence of that salt through our character, works and relationship with everyone around us. See verses13-16. 4. Finally be informed that Jesus came to fulfil the laws and not to abolish it. The early you understand this, the better it will help your walk with God and the fulfilment of your purpose on earth. See verses 13-20. 5. My prayer for you today is to receive the Anointing, to reign as the Salt of the World and shine as the light of the world in Jesus name. Amen Read below: Matthew 5:1-20 New International Version (NIV). Introduction to the Sermon on the Mount 5 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,2 and he began to teach them. The Beatitudes He said: 3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness they will be filled. 7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. 10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 “Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. Salt and Light 13 “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. 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. The Fulfillment of the Law 17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20 For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
