To quarantine our faith, that is to keep our religious life separate from other activities, is to miss our calling. We are called to be missionaries.
People are looking for a faith that is relevant, a faith that is authentic. They are looking for a real Faith lived out in a real way. Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus in The Sermon on the Mount tells us that we are to be salt and light. People of that day understood that salt had extreme value, that it was actually crucial to life in that time.
We must exhibit the presence of God in our lives even in the most mundane situations. Everyday should be Take Jesus to Work Day. Jesus speaks to whom? He speaks to Everyday People in everyday situations.
Letting the Light of Christ shine is not as difficult as you think.
1. Don't be critical; 2. Treat people kindly.
These are the ways Jesus will show through your life.
We may not have all the answers but we have the right answers.
Jesus is the right answer to whatever is wrong.
1. What is the place that should be considered your mission field?
2. What are some things you can change to amplify your mission?
3. How can you encourage someone to shine brighter?
4. What could you do at work, at home, to bring glory to God?
5. What can you do to be more consistent in sharing your faith?
Be diligent; be bright; be consistent.
Let your walk align with your faith.
You got this!
You were made for Mondays!
You are the salt, the light!
" Invite Jesus into each and every conversation and interaction."

Good points. Our pastor's new series is "Made for Monday." Yesterday his Genesis scripture connected to the fact that we are made for work.
Up off of the duff now to go forth and heed the message!
Vee, so your pastor gets his sermon series notions from the internet also. (I suppose most of them do, these days.) This message was the final one in the "Made for Mondays" series from our pastor.
