Why Your Life Matters

Why Your Life Matters
Matthew 5:13-16
Our influence for good?..
Two Items in Every Home..
The need for light is obvious..
Salt had a variety of uses..
Salt had a variety of uses..
The church and the world are distinct..
The Salt of the Earth..
13 "You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.
Be the salt..
Mark 9:50 Salt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another."
Col 4:6 Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

The light of the world..
14 You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Accepting our responsibility..
Salt’s responsibility to prevent decay
Light’s responsibility to illumine darkness
