In Matthew 5, Jesus tells his followers, “You are the salt of the earth… You are the light of the world.” These are simple images—but they carry profound implications for how Christians live in the world.
In this teaching, we explore what Jesus meant by salt and light in his own day, how salt can lose its saltiness, and why faith that looks Christian but no longer acts like Christ is ultimately powerless. We also reflect on light—why it must be seen, why it must illuminate, and how our lives can point beyond ourselves to the glory of God.
This message is about presence and proclamation. About quiet influence and visible faith. About how the Kingdom of God actually grows—through ordinary people faithfully living where they are.
How salty is your salt?
How bright is your light?
What might God want to do through you right where you live?
