Jesus used the metaphors of salt and light to describe the impact on society of God’s people who walk out the 8 Beatitudes (Mt. 5:13-16). Jesus sees the world as filled with moral decay and spiritual darkness. He describes believers as salt and light and unbelievers as the earth and world.

Paul prayed for believers to be inspired by the Spirit to respond to Jesus in a way worthy of Him—in wholeheartedness—and connected this with the ability to fulfill all of God’s will for our lives.

This teaching covers the deeper meanings behind the 3 beatitudes: poor in spirit, those who mourn, and the meek. Learn what it means to walk in desperate longing for more of God’s working in your life.

The Sermon on the Mount is the constitution of God’s kingdom. It is Jesus’ most comprehensive statement about a believer’s role in cooperating with the grace of God and is the “litmus test” to accurately measure our spiritual development and ministry impact.

As an expression of our love for God, we are to love one another. One way we do this is by doing what Jesus did and building friendships that we pour our live into.
