“We cannot hold a torch to light another’s path without brightening our own.” -Ben Sweetland
Light is never extinguished by being shared. In a world infused with darkness not only is it possible to shine, it’s essential. In this series we will work together on specific commitments meant to bring light to our individual lives, to the Branches community - and beyond. Get ready to Shine On!
Matthew 5 (The Message)
You’re here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We’re going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don’t think I’m going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I’m putting you on a light stand. Now that I’ve put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine!
Shine On!
