Sermon for July 16, 2017
Presented by Rev. Dr. Daniel Stegeman
Title: You Are The Light Of The World
Text: Matthew 5:14-16
14 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and ogive glory to your Father who is in heaven.
