Imagine 5:16

“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 

If your church suddenly disappeared, would anyone notice? We can’t answer that question without taking a closer look at the type of impact we are making in the world around us... and we may not like the answer we come up with.

But what if we could change that?

What would happen if every believer began to put action to Matthew 5:16? What if every one of us started to look for ways to make a difference in our immediate circles: our families, our neighborhoods, our workplaces, our communities? What if we started to take a close look at the spark that God has placed in each of us and began to imagine how we could use that to light up our world with the presence of Jesus?

What if we were to shine?
