Sermon Overview
Based on a conference theme, Reidhead explores the functional nature of the believer as "Salt." He argues that salt is only useful if it maintains its "Savor" (holiness and distinction). He warns that if the Church becomes like the world, it is "good for nothing" and loses its ability to restrain corruption or stimulate a thirst for God in the culture.
Key Principles
Preservative Quality:Accept your role as the "Salt of the Earth"; realize your presence is meant to restrain moral decay.
Maintaining Savor:Guard your "Savor" (holiness); realize that once you blend in with the world, you are "good for nothing."
Restrainer of Decay:Actively "salt" your environment by refusing to participate in the corrupt values of the age.
Thirst-Producing: Live such a "distinct" life that those around you begin to "thirst" for the God you serve.
Worldly Christianity:Reject any "salvation" that allows you to remain "tasteless" and identical to the world.
Local Church Impact:Lead your local church to be a "Salt-Cellar"—a center of preservative holiness in your city.
Sacrificial Nature:Accept the "Sacrificial" nature of salt; be willing to disappear so that the world tastes Christ.
