Brief Notes in the Sermon on the Mount

Sermon outline on Matthew 5:16, from notes taken, preacher unknown:

• Let your light so shine before men - PUBLIC good works. Cross reference Philippians 2:15, "in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world."


• That they may see your good works - PURPOSE is testimony sake (but to point them to God, not ourselves).


• And glorify your Father which is in heaven - PRODUCT is God's glory. Cross reference Psalm 23:3, "he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake."

Note at Matthew 5:23-24 - You have a responsibility to go to a brother that you have offended, Matthew 5:23-24. In Matthew 18:19 and Luke 17:3, You have a responsibility to go to a brother that has offended you. In either case, the responsibility to attempt to reconcile is always yours, whether the offended or the offender. Don't wait in pride for them to come to you. Same note at each passage.
