Salt and Light - Matthew 5




Sermons from Pakenham Lakeside Church show

Summary: Something nutritionists won't tell you: you need salt in your diet. People and animals cannot live without a minimal amount of salt. Unfortunately, when we get too much salt in one place (eg in our body, or in the soil, or a lake or river) it has a toxic effect.Jesus says to his disciples, 'you are the salt of the earth; you are the light of the world.' It is his word that makes us what we are as his people. How could we fail to be what we are? Salt is meant to be spread, not concentrated. Light is meant to shine, not be hidden. This sermon explores Matthew 5:12-20.It was preached on February 9 at Sunday Night at St John's.It can be used in conjunction with the Prezi zooming visuals found at this link.Enjoy!
