When God’s People Make a Difference

May 29, 2016 by

Rev. Maurice Delaine
Matthew 5:14-16

When God’s People Make a Difference

Who is that that makes a difference in your life?

1. What is light? Why does our light shine?
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

2. Good deeds -bring salvation to all people
John 1:17
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
3. Praise
Proverbs 3:6
In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy paths.

In closing, when the Lord is your shepherd and makes a difference in your life, you can change the I and MY in Psalms 23 and replace them with your name. It makes it more personal.
