are asked to come forward at this time. Jesus said, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, forbid them not; for such is the kingdom of heaven. [silence] [BELL RINGING]

00:17:12.180 - 00:17:51.020

[silence] [Silence] [Silence] I want to talk about something I think every one of you uses

00:17:51.020 - 00:18:14.500

that's usually on the table when you eat breakfast, when you have lunch, or when you have your dinner. And that is a salt shaker. How many of you use the salt shaker? Everybody here uses the salt shaker. You use the salt shaker? Everybody here, it seems, uses the salt shaker.

00:18:15.860 - 00:18:45.460

Because we like to place, have salt on our food for many reasons. And Jesus has a statement that he makes about salt. He says, "You are the salt of the earth." "You are the salt of the earth." Will you repeat that after me? "You are the salt of the earth." Say that once more.

00:18:45.460 - 00:19:09.460

You are the salt of the earth. Now, many years ago, people didn't have refrigerators like we have now. So, when they would have meat that they wanted to keep, they would have to keep it by putting salt on it.

00:19:09.460 - 00:19:26.460

It was a way of keeping it. It was a way of preserving it. and they could keep it a long time by putting salt on it. Salt was very, very important. It was important then, it's important now.

00:19:26.460 - 00:19:51.460

Seldom would you expect, if ever, to find a home without any salt. So when Jesus said, "You are the salt of the earth," he was talking about you, he's talking about me, me, he's talking about every person. You are, you're important. You're just as important as salt is to food.

00:19:51.460 - 00:20:23.460

Because what salt does, salt helps to season that food. It makes it taste better. And so your life ought to be like that. Your life ought to really make the world better. It ought to make everybody you know a better person because they know you. So like salt makes food taste better, your life ought to help make this world better. And this can only happen if we have Jesus and his Spirit.

00:20:23.460 - 00:20:56.460

If we have the Spirit of Jesus in us, then we can show others what it means to be the salt of the earth. You can keep yourself true to what God wants you to do, Because just as salt preserves, Jesus will keep us, help us think right, do right. You are the salt of the earth. Say that again. You are the salt of the earth. God bless you.

00:28:13.120 - 00:28:30.420

Let us give as he has prospered us. We have in our bulletin this week a report on the stewardship of our church for this past month. If there should be errors in your account as it appears here, we would appreciate it

00:28:30.420 - 00:28:51.520

if you called it to our attention in the church office. Next Sunday is Men's Day. We have special envelopes for that purpose, special offering for Men's Day, which will be celebrated on that Sunday, the second Sunday in this month.

00:28:51.520 - 00:29:21.860

So let us now bow our heads as we ask God's blessings upon us in this period of worship in giving. Dear Lord, we give ourselves to you and we submit unto you our talents, our substance, all, help each one of us to say, "I surrender all, all to thee I freely give," that we may

00:29:21.860 - 00:30:21.280

truly be stewards that will be acceptable in your sight, living in such a way that we will hear your commendation in the end. Well done, thou good, that faithful servant. So bless us each one and bless us all as we worship you in the dedication of our gifts in Jesus name, amen. [Music]
