Restore the streets

Matthew 5.13-20

Using metaphors of salt and light, Jesus teaches that true disciples witness to the gospel in what they say and do, not by merely believing it; and true discipleship cannot be hidden from those around us. He says that he did not come to abolish the Jewish Law, rather to fulfil and transcend it.
If we are to challenge the issues that cast a shadow over our world, we must be sure that we practise what we preach. Rather than turning to God and closing our eyes, how can we make a difference and help him with the work of restoration and revitalisation?

This week we explore the call to revitalise our communities.
