  1. This a very powerful message. We live in a world today that lacks these 3 things. Today’s world is living in death, darkness, and hate and we as the church are the salt of the earth and the light of the world (Matthew 5:13-14)! We as the church need to stand against these things with these things: Light, life, and love!

  2. We live in a world that lacks these 3 things and today’s world lives in death, darkness and hate. Our world today is blind to these 3 things! We as a church need to stand against the darkness and bring the light. We are to be a counter culture to hate, death, evil, unthankfulness, unforgiveness. All the hate and violence is being done and the name of good. We have to learn how to respond.
