Shine the Light - Mark4:21-25 - Nov 11, 2000

Sermon Shine the Light 11-12-00 Mark 4:21-25

Batteries not included
[god asks us to be a light, he gives us the power]
Lights off in sanctuary

Light was given to share
Not to hide it - movie, the music box
Not to show off, but to offer the light you have

The hidden good is to be shown
Parables in pvt were to help them be effective later

Laws of the kingdom/laws of joy
If you have it & use it, you will get more
If you have it and hide it, it will go away...atrophy

Burying a talent is a betrayal of trust
When we are lost in our own stuff
Story of upset woman who went house to house

When we don't know why
The glass jar and the pumpkin

Priest asks the confirmand what is a saint
A saint lets the light shine through

Examples....everytime you plant a shrub, teach a ss class
Deliver a mug, shake a hand

Red Holiday Brochure- give to a friend

The lamplighter, don't know where he is, but I will find him
I can see where he has been

Will God be able to find you?
Let your light shine
