What Do You Mean Salt of the Earth?
June 21, 2025
From Bedouins to Babylonians, from Hitites to Hellenists, from Mesopotamians to Moses himself, the ancients used salt in one way we do not. This message challenges us to hear “salt of the earth” not only in context of Jesus’ original sermon, but in context of Bible history. While drawing from archeology and science, this sermon examines salt through the principle of letting the Bible interpret itself. It’s fascinating to find the instruction God preserved about salt, about covenant, and about our identity and responsibility today.

Though God spoke the world into existence, He formed man with His own hand, crafting him in His image and making him for relationship. From Genesis to Revelation, we see God’s enduring faithfulness and unfailing love. Yet even those He calls His friends do not live lives of ease. Why is that? This sermon examines the stories of Abraham, Israel, and the Church to show that God’s nearness is not disproved by trials but often revealed through them. It offers four keys for holding fast to God’s unchanging character, even when deliverance seems delayed.
