Gospel: Matthew 5:13-20
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Tonight, during the Super Bowl many people will consume lots of salty foods like pizza, chips and countless other snacks. The bright lights of the game & the commercials will flood all who watch with their own ideas of what is good and right. Sadly, in many cases the lights of immorality and sinful passions will shine way too brightly.
This morning, Jesus reveals a far, far better salt & light, both of which have great power now and last for eternity. God gives you salt & light for your own good, and for you to share with others.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
Old Testament: Micah 6:1–8
Psalm: Psalm 15
Epistle: 1 Corinthians 1:18–31
Gospel: Matthew 5:1–12
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Today Micah reveals a haunting dialog between the LORD and His people. The LORD indicts our sinfulness, we ask, “What can we do?” and the LORD gives us a simple reply. But we can’t do what the LORD requires!
So we move on to the well-known Beatitudes in Matthew’s written gospel. But wait, this looks like a list of “do this and you’ll be blessed in this way” statements. But again, we can’t do what the LORD requires!
Is this really the LORD’s epiphany for you and me today?
