In 1666 London suffer a huge fire that devastated the city, leaving only 1/5th of the building standing. Although the Great Fire was a catastrophe, it did cleanse the city. The overcrowded and disease ridden streets were destroyed and a new London emerged.
We see that although fire can be devastating, it can also bring cleansing, it can bring light, it can bring life, and as we turn to Jesus message on the mountain we see how he uses a similar analogy to show his followers what they should be like in the world....

Today we will see how God uses that phrase, and when God says it he means something profound and life changing....

I was moved by Chris Higham’s painting God gave him of the church coming together in the darkness and becoming a light set on a hill. Others last week shared the same testimony that this is what God had been speaking to them about. Then as I went about my work this week and chatted to people I saw that light - each one of us represented the light. As people speak to people, give them hope, take a meal, pray for them, bring a word of encouragement, or are at home interceding in prayer the light shines even brighter. A city on a hill truly can’t be hidden…...
