“Spice of Life”

February 2, 2025

Series: Sunday Sermons

Book: Matthew

Scripture: Matthew 5:13-16

In “Spice of Life,” Pastor Wes draws parallels between the everyday, ordinary nature of salt and light and the calling of Christians to embody faithful discipleship. Just as salt enhances flavors and light guides our paths, Jesus invites followers to embrace their roles in ways that are often mundane yet transformative. Pastor Wes emphasizes the importance of balance, warning against “too much” salt or light that can overwhelm rather than heal or inspire. He highlights the collective responsibility of the church to be agents of love, justice, and belonging in a world often clouded by cynicism and negativity. The message concludes by reminding the congregation that God, the head chef, continues to guide and shape the church’s identity, blending both familiar and forgotten “spices” for meaningful service and community.
