"The Salt of the Earth" - 9:00 a.m. Traditional Eucharist

Rev. Charlie Holt teaches on Jesus’ call for His followers to be the “salt of the earth” and the “light of the world,” using the Dead Sea’s diluted salt as a vivid picture of how faith can lose its distinctiveness. He warns that cultural pressures—whether political, moral, or social—can weaken Christian witness when believers conform rather than live by the wisdom of God found in Scripture. Through examples from the church, scouting, and global missions, he emphasizes that true saltiness and light come through daily engagement with God’s Word and a life shaped by truth, humility, and love. The sermon encourages Christians to shine openly, resist dilution, and remain a transformative presence in the world.
