August 22nd/23rd – Say What? – Salt of the Earth

In this famous saying Jesus isn’t describing Himself—He’s describing us. This lesson takes an in-depth look at how believers can be “salty.” The first half of the lesson deals with the characteristics of salt, the second half takes those same characteristics and gives them human qualities. The main point of this lesson: How salty are you?

SAY WHAT?

Bible Saying You’ve Heard, But May Not Understand!

Salt of the Earth

“You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it useful again? It will be thrown out and tramped underfoot as worthless” (Matthew 5:13 NLT).

“Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? Flavorless salt is good neither for soil nor for fertilizer. It is thrown away. Anyone who is willing to hear should listen and understand!” (Luke 14:34).

WHAT IS SALT GOOD FOR?

ADDS flavor

PRESERVES food

MELTS coldness

HEALS wounds

WHAT ARE CHRISTANS GOOD FOR?

We add HOPE

LIVE a holy lifestyle

SHOW love to others

SHARE Christ with our family and friends

Thought for the week:

How SALTY are you?
