OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 READ: Matthew 5:14-16
[14]Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
[15]Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
[16]Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 MESSAGE:
To shine forth means to radiate, glow, and make one’s light visible to others.
In this dark world, we are to shine forth by bringing hope and joy to those around us.
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 5:16 As a child of God, it is your good deeds and actions that will draw others to Christ.
Thus, you must live like Christ so that you will become a model for others.
This will give you the boldness to preach the gospel like Stephen in Acts 6:8-15 and Acts 7.
He was full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom. Even at the point of death, he shone and shared the message of Christ with those around him.
Until everyone in your neighborhood, classroom, school, family, and church attest to your good deeds, you are not shining.
OPEN HEAVENS FOR TEENS 6 SEPTEMBER 2024 KEY POINT
When you behave well and perform good deeds, you shine, but when you behave badly, you dim your light.

STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF CHRIST MY KING
1. Standing on the promises of Christ, my King,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail.
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
3. Standing on the promises of Christ, the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain]
4. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
List’ning ev’ry moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God. [Refrain
