Podcasts about Salt and light

We shouldn't have to apologize for taking our faith into the public square. It's not the only worldview in the public arena, and we have every right to live out our faith intentionally. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the need for us to stop hiding our Christian identity and instead shine the light of God's Kingdom purposefully in our homes and communities. We are responsible for instilling our biblical values and morals in the next generation, and that begins at our kitchen tables. It won't be easy. We will face pushback and hardship, but most things worth doing require discomfort and effort. Let's determine to do the difficult thing in pursuit of God. 

On Sunday, we continued in our new message series through the Sermon on the Mount. Pastor Ron preached out of Matthew 5:13- 16 on being salt and light in the world. Have a good week!

Table salt today is so common, it becomes another thing we take for granted. You go to the store, pick a cylinder or jar of salt off the shelf, and then go home. You don't even think about it.Now, consider that 1,000 and more years ago, if a person wanted to use salt on his dinner, this required some prior work. A lot of work! The Romans boiled seawater in huge, lead-lined pans. So valuable was salt in the Roman Empire, it was used as currency! Mainly, it was used as a critical food preservative.Matthew 5 verses 13–16 says, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden.                    Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead, they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”God is telling us that we are to be the instrument that preserves and makes known the Gospel, and salt is one of the analogies.Let us say to our friends, loved ones, and even strangers: Taste, and see that the Lord's promises are good!Let's pray.Lord, help us to be salt and light for your Word in this world. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world! Save 15% Off your entire purchase of faith-based apparel + gifts at Kerusso.com with code KDD15.

In this message, Pastor Caleb discusses the persecution that comes when Christians are in right standing with God and due to their association with Jesus Christ.  Christians are the salt and light of the world, so their light and flavor should reflect their relationship with God through Jesus Christ.  When Christians lose their flavor and light, they have become what the enemy wants them to be.  May Christians continue to be disciples of Jesus by continuing to be salt and light.  Send us a textSupport the showFor more information for our church visit AGCSparta.org.

Have you ever wondered what it really looks like to live under the reign of Jesus? Through the Sermon on the Mount, He gives us more than ancient wisdom. It's His Kingdom manifesto—a revolutionary vision for a new humanity. Not a list of impossible rules, but an invitation to a new way of being human. A way that leads to freedom, blessing, and fullness of life. Each week, we'll expose the broken systems that shape us—anger, greed, judgment, misplaced identity—and discover how Jesus flips them upside down, calling us into His narrow path that satisfies the soul. And you don't have to walk that path alone. Join a Life Group and explore the Sermon on the Mount in community—where questions, encouragement, and shared stories will help you live what Jesus is teaching.

What does the Dead Sea and an oil lamp have in common? Is it really possible to be too salty? Join us for the message “Salt and Light.”

Preacher: Harshit SinghTitle: Salt and LightSeries: Guest PreachersPassage: Matthew 5:13–16

During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus's teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life” In this series, we will dive deep into one of Jesus's most famous teachings, the Sermon on the Mount. We will consider how these words of life nourish us, even as they challenge us, and how we might apply them to our lived stories today. Dostoyevsky once said that “beauty will save the world.” This week, Rick Callahan invited us to consider how Jesus' call to be Salt and Light echoes the call for Christians to fill the world with Truth, Goodness, and Beauty. While many of us find it easy to focus on the first two, it's not always clear where Beauty fits in. Rick helped us explore how doing justice, loving mercy, and walking humbly with God (Micah 6:8) can make the world a more beautiful place, helping us live into Jesus' command to be Salt and Light in a world desperate for healing and transformation.

Salt and Light - Matthew 5:13-16

This week, Pastor Shaq Hager continues our series on the Sermon on the Mount by focusing on the way in which Jesus informs His disciples that they're salt and light in the world. The implication for the disciples is clear. Their lives are to be distinct from the prevailing culture. They're not to take on the ethics or values of the Roman Empire, but the Kingdom of God. Their lives are to be markers, or signposts, of the Kingdom. And, to do this, to be distinctive in a way that the disciples and the earliest Christian communities can influence the broader culture is to remain in Jesus, to learn His teachings, and to do what He did. Today, in our polarized world, Jesus' invitation remains. Jesus' followers are to be salt and light, ambassadors of the Kingdom, living in ways that demonstrate love, mercy, justice, and reconciliation.

PLEASE ENJOY THIS RE-BROADCAST OF AN EARLIER NCR PODCAST: In this episode of the National Crawford Roundtable podcast the guys talk about the decline in Biblical Worldview, even among professing Christians. Are evangelical Christians doing a good job of representing Jesus? What is the Church doing right? What is the Church doing wrong? How have sex and money scandals hurt the Church? Has the Church done a good job of being the salt and light of the Earth? Is winning the "culture war" the same as making disciples?

For our Mission Focus Sunday, we had the privilege of hearing the Word preached from Philip Van Steenburgh. He serves as the Lead Pastor of Wornall Road Baptist Church in Kansas City. He preached from Matthew 5:13-16 on how we are called to be salt and light in this world. Truly, Jesus makes us different in order to make a difference in the lives of others around us.

If you want to enjoy life and see many happy days, keep your tongue from speaking evil and your lips from telling lies.

You Are the Salt and Light

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

*Mission Celebration Sunday from Matthew 5:13-16 Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5-7, we know as The Sermon on the Mount…but it is so much more than just a collection of wisdom and challenge and instruction from Jesus.

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we're addressing the troubling reality of the Epstein list and Donald Trump's failure to bring it to light, holding it up to the standard of biblical justice. God's Word commands that evil be exposed, not hidden in the darkness. I also take time to answer a variety of questions from you, my beloved audience.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

We have a heritage of faith, but we're not just studying history. God has called us to this time and place to complete an assignment. In this sermon, Pastor Allen Jackson discusses the United States' Christian beginnings and the obligation we have to uphold godly ideals in our culture today. Pastor Allen shares about Elijah's and Jesus' difficult assignments—and how they overcame opposition with God's strength. We all have a sphere of influence and a mission from the Lord, so let's work at recognizing His movement and saying yes to His invitations!
