Matthew 5:14-16

A city set on a [a]hill cannot be hidden; 15 nor do people light a lamp and put it under a [b]basket, but on the lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Your light must shine before people in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

Integrity is the state of being undivided.
Who you are is what you are at work. And it starts in your heart.
Proverbs 4:23
“Above all, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life!”
Live under the Lordship of Christ

… Keep a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behaviour in Christ may be ashamed of their slander.
- Lampstand (Excellence)

“Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house”
Lampstand = Excellence!
Proverbs 22:29
Do you see a man who excels in his work?
He will stand before kings: He will not stand before unknown men
EXCELLENCE means two things:
High Competency and Reliability
We must have excellence because our work is our worship unto God!

“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
Floodlight = Good Works
Matthew 5:16 (NLT)
In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.
Works of Love, Generosity & Justice

And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[a] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.
1 Timothy 6:18 (ESV)
They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share…
- Citylight = Visible in the City
