a kingdom of speaking and doing | Matthew 5.11-16
patterns we conform to…
followers of King Jesus persevere in the face of persecution as salty witnesses and bright lights for Jesus because great is our reward in heaven
- persecuted like previous prophets (5.11-12)
admit it’s hard
willing to be weird
prepared for persecution
- salty speakers (5.13)
salty partners
salty books
salty moments
- shining lights (5.14-16)
shining is faithfulness not flashiness
shining so that God shines more
