This week's song leads me down memory lane to one of my favorite childhood songs, "The Little Light of Mine." The band, Unspoken, however, makes a bolder request when they sing out "Start a Fire." Happily, both songs lead us to our desired destination...God's Word.

Join me on a journey to one of Jesus' most famous sermons and Paul last letter.
On this week's episode I discuss:


A childhood song this song reminds me of
The story shown in the music video
Letting your light shine right where you are
Matthew 5
The cost of letting our light shine
The reward of letting our light shine
Prayers for the persecuted
The word "blessed" found in the beatitudes in the Amplified Bible
"Fan into flame" found in 2 Timothy 1
2 Timothy 1:6 in the Amplified Bible
Following Paul's direction to "fan the flame"
Sowing the seeds we have received

This Week's Challenge
Spend some time in Matthew chapters 5-7 and study the Sermon on the Mount. Meditate on our focus area and determine if you are letting your light shine. If your light seems to be more of an ember these days, hop on over to 2 Timothy and learn from Peter's last letter on how to fan into flame the gifts that God has already placed in you.
