Sparks For Kids 101
Be the Light in Everyday Moments
What if your everyday actions could illuminate the path to faith for someone else? Join me, Pastor Mike, as we explore this transformative idea on "It Only Takes a Spark" podcast. Inspired by Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:14-16, we discuss how being the light of the world is not just a calling but a daily practice. From the simplicity of a kind gesture to the profound impact of forgiveness, every action can reflect God's goodness in our world. We are reminded that much like a lamp brightens a room, our lives can shine brightly in a world often overshadowed by darkness.
Our conversation highlights the essential role of embodying the attributes of kindness, love, and forgiveness as laid out in Ephesians 5:8. By living with awareness and intention, we may be the only glimpse of Jesus that others see. As we navigate our own lives, the way we respond to challenges can inspire others to think well of Christianity and the beauty of serving the Lord. We conclude with a heartfelt prayer, seeking guidance to live by God's word and to be a beacon for the lost. Join us in this inspiring episode, as we strive together to light the way for others.
Hello. You are listening to it Only Takes a Spark podcast with Pastor Mike. This podcast is designed to be a discipleship support for the busy parent of a child, to spark a fruitful conversation. From a little spark may come a flame. Now let the sparks fly.
Speaker 1:Boys and girls, I'm so excited once again for you to join me in listening to this podcast today. Take a moment and go ahead and subscribe to this so you don't miss any new episodes. As I always do, I bring you a question for you to ponder on today, and that question is this Do you know how important it is that you are the light of this world? You see, according to Matthew 5, verses 14-16, jesus tells us that we are the light for this world. Just like a lamp gives light to a room, our actions and our kindness can help others see the goodness of God. We should always try to do good things so that people can see the love of God through us. It's like that first day when God made light and expelled the darkness when he created the world. We are the light to this lost and dying world.
Speaker 1:As Christians, we are light in the Lord, according to Ephesians 5, verse 8. However, we must learn to shine that light. This is possible because Jesus is that light to this world and we are the servants of the Master. People are watching how we live and react to our own circumstances. When we are kind, forgiving, loving and so on, it will shine. On the other hand, when we are not displaying the attributes of God, our works cannot be hidden either. Live each day as if someone is watching you. Before they decide to serve the Lord, you could be the only Jesus someone will ever see. Let's pray, lord Jesus. Help us today to live by your word. Thank you for helping us to share our story with the way we live our lives. Help us to be light to the lost. Teach us to do good works so that the report among people will cause them to think well of Christianity and serving the Lord. Amen.
