Spirit Alive 2024 Presents

Be the Light

“You are the light of the world. A city that is built on a hill cannot be hidden. And people don’t hide a light under a bowl. They put it on a lampstand so the light shines for all the people in the house. In the same way, you should be a light for other people. Live so that they will see the good things you do and will praise your Father in heaven.”
– Matthew 5:14-16

Just as a lighthouse casts a beacon to guide ships safely to shore, we are called to shine the light of Christ, guiding others through acts of love and faith. By letting our light shine brightly, we lead others to the hope and truth found in Jesus, offering a clear path to His grace.
