Living as Salt and Light

Oct 4, 2026  •  Steve Miller

What does Jesus mean when He calls His followers “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world”? In this message from Matthew 5:13–16, Pastor Steve continues our journey through the Sermon on the Mount and explores how Jesus gives His people an identity and a mission in the world.


Christians are called to live close enough to others to love them deeply, while remaining distinct enough that they can see Jesus clearly. Whether at home, at work, at school, or in our neighborhoods, God places ordinary people in ordinary places to display His grace, mercy, compassion, and truth.


Discover what it means to live as salt and light, serve others through beautiful works, and live for the good of others and the glory of God.
