Join us as we explore these powerful teachings and discover a deeper, more fulfilling way!

SCRIPTURE

Matthew 5:13-16

QUESTIONS

Icebreaker: What’s a food that YOU love but it seems unusual to other people?

1. Have you ever had an opportunity to share your faith with someone and gotten shy about it? If so, why do you think that was? 
2. Talk about a time that following Jesus made you feel set apart outwardly.  
3. Salt is needed because the world is decaying spiritually and salt is used to preserve things. What areas of your life can you be salt in? 
4. We are the light of the world because Jesus’s lights reflects through us. What would you say you are you reflecting? 
5. Tonight Jake said, “We help them see God because we have seen God.” How can you use YOUR real life experiences with God to point others to God?
6. In what ways does being “salt and light” make us countercultural?
