The Sermon on the Mount

Salt, Light, and Character

Matthew 5:13-16

————————————————————————————————————————

“Wherever you go, you’re God’s person.” As Christians, we are called to be salt and light everywhere we go. Jesus talks about this as a way to challenge our character. No matter what we face, God wants us to handle it all with the character that Jesus portrayed.

• Read Matthew 5:13

• How can you lose your ‘saltiness’ as a Christ-follower?
• How do you remain ‘salty’?
• How do you know that you are living like ‘salt of the earth’?

• Read Matthew 5:14-15

• How do you allow Jesus’ light to shine through your life?
• How can your actions attract or detract the light of the Gospel?

The Character Crisis. Good, or bad, character exposes itself depending on how we handle power, conflict, information, temptation, and hurt.

• How have you handled these types of tests in your life?

Prayer Focus: Read Titus 2:11-14.
