Posted : 3 Aug, 2008 11:56 AM 8/3/08 Sunday Sermon: This Little Light of Mine, I'm Going to Let It Shine! --------------------------------------------------------------------------Matthew 5:13-16 We are the Salt of the Earth.... Let Our Light Shine Before Men.... **Our faith in God should not be private! Our walk with God should be personal but NEVER a private relationship. We should have a Public Faith. CHRISTIANITY IS TO BE PUBLIC !! We should light up for God like Las Vegas lights up for sinners!! Our faith is to be public for Jesus so we can help bring people to the Lord. Where are YOU at? Do you want your Christianity to be Public or Private? ***To Go Public with Our Faith*** 1) We Need to Feel the Burden: This burden is to share the gospel and help save souls. Matthew 9:35-38 Jesus had compassion for the people he was among. He saw they needed His leadership. Do we have Jesus's burden for the people lost in sin? We need to feel the burden. Feeling the burden leads to ACTION and we begin NOT to care what people think. We are burdened to help save souls from going to Hell. 2) Its Everyones Opportunity: We sometimes tend to feel we can't make a difference. This is wrong. Ephesian 4:11-12 The gift to reach lost people is given to the Body of Christ. Whether we can do a lot of leading to Christ or are just planting little seeds, we are ALL a Tool. We are a Tool for the Lord to lead others to Salvation. We should not limit ourselves because we all have the opportunity to be used as a tool for Jesus. We can make a difference in people's lives. It's our job to invite them to accept Jesus. If they accept us or turn us down, we have done our job. 3) Let Our Light Shine Before Men: Be an encouragement. Be nice, sweet and help them answer any biblial questions. Give them the biblical tools: scripture, concordance etc to find their answers. 4) Invest Time and Invite folk to Church: We need to take more time in inviting people around us to visit our church. Once they enter the church doors, God WILL take over! 5) Pray for Opportunities: Ask God to give us opportunities to tell folk about Jesus. When to share a scripture and encourage folk to take their troubles to Jesus. Pray for the opportunities to just share the Love of Jesus. >>>We should never use the excuse that we are only one person. Don't say it doesn't matter whether we witness or not. Don't say what difference can one person make.................... . :-o .................... (one person) :-o :-o ............ (two people) :-o :-o :-o ......... (three people) :-o :-o :-o :-o ...... (more and more people) >>>Its Judgement Day: Young lady is going to Hell because her school classmates and co-workers never told her about Jesus. She cries out to her friends who never told her about Jesus. But it is now TOO LATE. **Do you want your Christianity to be Public or Private??? :prayingm: Report to moderator 74.162.33.206 Pages-->: [1] Notify | Add poll | Send this topic | Print Single Christian Network Community > Single Christian Community > Sermons > Topic: 8/3/08 Sunday Sermon: This Little Light of Mine, I'm Going to Let It Shine!

Deborahe View Profile History	8/3/08 Sunday Sermon: This Little Light of Mine, I'm Going to Let it Shine. Posted : 3 Aug, 2008 01:24 PM Too many Christians are ashamed of Christ these days. In return, He will be ashamed of them.We should Proclaim Jesus to Everyone we meet; not just among those who already know Him. A candle that is lit should not be put under a bushel; if it remains covered up, it will soon go out. Great Post, Seleta ! A sermon that needs to be heard ! :angel: God Bless You All, Deborah Post Reply

Posted : 3 Aug, 2008 02:06 PM This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine... (Dont let Satan puff it out)..(.Hide it under a bushel..No!)Let it shine till Jesus Comes...I'm gonna let it shine...etc... Did you sing with me? A children's song but pertinent for today. You say we live in a dark world and it's too hard. Well, it takes the darkness for the light to be seen so lets open the floodgates of heaven and go deer spottin....after all it won't be long before the deer are standing along the road just waitin for you to come by and wave.
