I began looking for research on the Gospel lesson with tons of energy and excitement. I had visions of a huge production with movie clips and songs, BUT as is always the case...God put me in my place. You can't force your ideas on the word of God.
So I have found a few sources which are much more appropriate for my congregation, and on a much less grand scale.
I'm going to focus on the first part of the lesson...salt and light. I was initially uncomfortable with the salt portion. After all salt is bad...it causes heart attacks!!! My focus will be on our call to mission.
I found the resources on textweek.com helpful, particularly:
