ReStart: Show God's Purpose

<p>SERMON NOTES — Sunday, February 2, 2020 ”ReStart: SHOW God’s Purpose” Matthew 5:14-16 NIV</p> <p> “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. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” #1 — “You can’t SHOW what you don’t ______________.” #2 — “You can’t SHOW if you won’t ____________.” #3 — “You can’t SHOW and not _________________.” “For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all surpassing power is from God and not from us.” - 2 Corinthians 4:6-7 NIV</p> <p>My Next Step:</p> <p> “How am I going to SHOW and Tell what I’ve received from God this week?”</p> <p> ______________________________________________</p> <p>A Prayer For This Week Loving God, we give thanks to You for the gift of Your presence, Your promises, Your provision, and Your purpose. Give us opportunities to SHOW Your love to those around us. In Jesus’ name we pray, AMEN.</p> <p>Daily Scripture Readings:</p> <p>Sunday Psalm 143:8-10</p> <p>Monday Romans 5:5-8</p> <p>Tuesday 1 Corinthians 13:4-6</p> <p>Wednesday Ephesians 4:1-3</p> <p>Thursday Colossians 3:12-14</p> <p>Friday 1 John 4:16-21</p> <p>Saturday Revelation 2:1-5 Prayer Focus: Blackman United Methodist Church Rev.
