It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. 14 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be ...read more

    HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO BE SALT? -- The human body contains about 4oz. of salt. Without enough of it, muscles won’t contract, blood won’t circulate, food won’t digest and the heart won’t beat a beat. Without a doubt, salt is VITAL to life. And Jesus s

    A focus on salt as a distinctive flavour and a preserving agent as a metaphor for Christian distinctiveness in a pluralistic world.

    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,490 views

    A short sermon aimed mainly at a large group of ’not-yet’ Christians coming on a Sunday morning. Israel was called to be salt and light but made a hash of it. Jesus was, and still is salt and light, and calls us to be salt and light.

    Have you ever left detailed instructions only to return and find things in a bit of a mess? Perhaps you left instructions with your children as they were sat around the dinner table, and when you returned just 2 minutes later there was food everywhere, tears flowing, and blackcurrant juice dripping ...read more

    We are called to be the salt and light of the world.

    These two examples Jesus uses may seem insignificant now, but in the first century salt and light was very valuable. In the Roman market place salt was even used at times as money and without electricity light was a valuable asset at night. Today we often take these two things for granted. What ...read more

    Funeral message for Mrs. Julia Hamilton, the mother of several accomplished sons. A "lovely light" (of Millay’s poem) is one which reveals truth, shares light in the household, and looks to God as the author of all light.
