Matthew 5.13-20
Learning to be Church - Week 3 of 6
Six weeks in which we consider how Matthew’s experience of fragile Christian community encourages us to work for the kingdom to come in our world today.
Essential presence
Today, in the famous teaching about salt and light, we are encouraged to recognise that ordinary things can make a difference.
This week’s reading, Matthew 5.13-20, provides an opportunity to:
- explore the New Testament images of salt and light (AAA & CYP)
- be challenged to renew the distinctive nature of your Christian community (AAA & CYP)
- value the unique contribution that each person can make (AAA & CYP)
- reflect on the humility required in being a disciple. (AAA & CYP)
