Let Your Light Shine
14 “You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.15 Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.
The lamp is often used as a symbol to remind us of the Christian ethic of doing good deeds.

The Ten Commandments
20 And God spoke all these words:
2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.
3 “You shall have no other gods beforea]">[a] me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6 but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.
7 “You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lordwill not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name.
8 “Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work, 10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns. 11 For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, but he rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
12 “Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
13 “You shall not murder.
14 “You shall not commit adultery.
15 “You shall not steal.
16 “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.
17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”
The Holy Bible
The Holy Bible, our sacred text, is a book of books.
Written over a period of centuries, it's the work of many authors.
The Old Testament contains 39 books, while the New Testament has 27 books and letters.
Testament means, covenant or promise. The Old Testament is the old promise; the promise the God would, through the clan of Abraham, bless the World and bring forth a savior.
The New Testament is the new promise; the promise that his savior, Jesus Christ would return to bring God's people home to eternal life with the father.
The Bible is the Good News of these promises, made by God.

Luke 3
The Baptism and Genealogy of Jesus
21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”
Jesus
John 1:1-5
The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcomea]">[a] it.
This is how the Apostle John, introduces us to Jesus Christ.
His Followers
Matthew 5:1
5 One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, 2 and he began to teach them.
The Sermon on the Mount is the most famous speech that Jesus gave. In it, he highlighted his message of selflessness, love, compassion and respect. It’s the very core of Christian ethics and can be pointed to as the very foundation of western cultural values. Phrases from it, such as “Turn the other cheek.” and “Go the extra mile” have become so ubiquitous that many use them with little or no knowledge that this speech is their source. The Beatitudes are the introduction to this speech, his first words of greeting.
Created by Robert McCauslin in 1928, it was placed in memory the Hon. James Young and his wife Margaret Young.
