Salt + Light...

We are salt and light! Jesus says so! We are called to compassion and charged with seasoning and shining throughout the world! 

This month we reflect on what it means to carry our little light and our cellar of salt, sprinkling music and laughter, prophecy and praise as we go. 

Salt has many properties and uses and so do we! How are we salt in our communities? Where are we enhancing flavour? Transforming texture? Preserving goodness? Melting ice? Scrubbing grime? Manufacturing solutions? 

Small amounts of salt are vital for our neuro-chemistry to send signals through our cells. How are we enabling the ‘neuro-chemistry’ of our local communities? Helping to link together the cells of the Body of Christ.

  • Week one — Seasoning and shining! We begin our theme by looking at Jesus’s description of us as salt and light! What can we learn about ourselves from this analogy? 
  • Week two — Salt, light and laughter… In this week we consider the role of humour in grace, humility and self-discovery.
  • Week three — Bittersweet salt and light. Light can glare and salt can sting, this week we explore the bittersweetness of a life fully lived.
  • Week four — Paradigm shifts! As salt and light can startle us, our final week has us reading the Bible alive to the paradigm shifts in the text — the clean breaks and sudden twists!

Each week of this theme runs Sunday-Saturday and has its own subtheme, which contains daily Bible readings and prompts for thought (see the Resource Pack PDF for more information).
