Podcasts about Salt and light

From the series, "For the Good of the City" – a 2 week series with Dave Stimers.We're launching our new series, For the Good of the City by exploring Jesus' declaration that His people are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When our identity and our actions align, our good deeds reflect God's character, rebuild what's broken, and reveal the Father to our city.Part 1: Salt and Light. In this message we'll explore how living as salt and light shapes the way we love our city. We'll also hear from Maggie John of The Baby Depot as we introduce our 2025 Christmas Fund. Tune in as we consider how God works through us for the good of our city this Christmas season.

Preacher: Jason Min Title: Salt and Light: Proximity Sermon Series: Life Reimagined Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV)

In this honest and weighty message kicking off the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Karl walks through the Beatitudes—the nine “blessed are” statements that reveal the heart attitudes Jesus demands of every true disciple. From spiritual poverty and mourning over sin to meekness, insatiable hunger for righteousness, mercy, purity of heart, peacemaking, and even rejoicing in persecution, these aren't optional extras; they're the non-negotiable “be-attitudes” that must mark every citizen of God's kingdom.When these attitudes shape us, we naturally become the salt of the earth and the light of the world—distinct from culture, preserving what is decaying, and shining so brightly that others see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven. A convicting reminder that following Jesus was never meant to look like the world around us.Watch all our sermons on our youtube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

In this message from the Blessed to Be a Blessing series, Pastor Hazen Stevens teaches how true blessing isn't just received—it's released. Like Abraham, we walk in blessing by faith, and like Jesus, we live it out as salt and light in the world. Through humility, purity, and good works, we carry the kingdom into dark and decaying places.Key Scriptures: Genesis 12:1–3, Matthew 5:3–16, Romans 12:21, Ephesians 5:8–9Main Points:1. The blessed life costs something—but brings heaven to earth2. Salt preserves and purifies; light reveals and radiates3.

Send us a textIn Matthew 5:16 Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." What would it look like to let God's light shine in elementary school classrooms today? Special guest, April Graney, shows young readers exactly what that looks like in her new children's book If Jesus Came to My School, published by Penguin Random House. April is on the show today sharing a word of encouragement to parents entrusted with the important responsibility of teaching their kids to be salt and light, wherever they are. She builds this foundational message on three things: purpose, prayer, and power, and shares a little bit about her own journey as a mom of 5 and teacher at a children's home and school for at-risk students.  Listen in and be inspired! April also shares helpful resources for parents and teachers navigating classrooms of all types.

Living a Salt and Light - Matthew 5:13-16

The church is in the world as salt and light, to make Christ visible and give the world a taste of the goodness of God.

We examine Matthew 5:13-16 and the Lord's call to His disciples to be salt and light in light of the Gospel's changing power.

Matthew 5: 13-16 NKJV We are called to stay salty We are called to shine steadily and stay lit We are called to show the Savior

Our final session of CLC 2025!! Pastor Ken taught on Salt and Light. We've been called to make contact with the world without becoming contaminated by it. To shine as light and preserve our world in truth.Listen and be blessed!

This is the second installment of The Good Life, our exciting teaching series on The Sermon on the Mount. Found in Matthew 5-7, the Sermon consists of 111 verses, with 2,500+ words in the original Greek manuscripts. The core of the Sermon we pray daily: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, May your kingdom come, May your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:9-10 NIV) The Our Father is the password that unlocks the entire Sermon. Jesus is bringing His Kingdom down here into our broken world. The key message of Talk 2 is: You are the salt of the earth, you are the light of the world.

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.

Salt and Light 13You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. 14You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that[a]they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

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.

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

Justin continues our fall series on the Sermon on the Mount reminding us that we are created to be salt and light to the world.

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.
