Do Not Hide Your Light Real Christian Life
Real Christian life is not about hiding what God has done in you. In Mark 4:21 to 25, Jesus uses the picture of a lamp on a stand to show that His followers are meant to shine. We are called to live as light in a dark world, to be generous with what God has given, and to be responsible with every opportunity and gift.
In this message we look at three marks of a fruit bearing life. Be a light that points people to Jesus. Be generous in the way you give, serve, and respond to others. Be responsible with the truth, time, and talents God has entrusted to you. The measure you use will be measured back to you.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath Mark 2 23 28 Spirit Led Common Sense
Read Mark 2 23 28. Jesus and His disciples picked grain on the Sabbath and the Pharisees called it unlawful. Jesus answered with Scripture and showed the heart of God. The Sabbath was made for people and the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath. We look at the story and then draw three takeaways. Get your facts straight before judging. Use Spirit led common sense as you apply God’s Word. Do not live by the dictates of critics. Follow Jesus with grace and truth. Challenge today is to apply Spirit led common sense to the decisions you face.

Truth isn’t just informative—it’s transformative.
