Able To Make A Difference
Matthew 5:14-16
14 "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.

And that's the subject of the message today - Able to Make a Difference.
Jesus tells us in His sermon on the mount, the fifth chapter of Matthew - you are the light of the world. Not because you're smart, or pretty, or tough, or rich or anything else. You are the light of the world because the spirit of God dwells in you. Otherwise, you're just like this flash light. It looks good - it has all the right pieces in place to function, but it's no good unless yo ...
