6. The Church’s Outward Witness

Matt 5:13-16, 43-48; 10:2-20

What should our outward witness look like?

We have a God to announce
We have a kingdom to embody
We have a World to influence
We have a people to help and to love
We will be the method of hearing for those who God has prepared.
We need to be prayerful
We need to act in love and good deeds.
