BE SALTY! - Mark 9:42-50

“Shut out every other consideration and keep yourself before God for this one thing only—My Utmost for His Highest.”  Oswald Chambers

 

Off the mountain of Transfiguration and through the valley of humility - Jesus now talks about how to live for the Kingdom of God. Truly living for the Kingdom means that nothing else is nearly as important – it does not mean that we don’t do daily things – it just means that no daily thing is bigger than everything God has for us.  Jesus challenges the Disciples to live for the Kingdom and nothing else is as significant! Jesus gives four simple Kingdom principles to live by and I will try to cover them all this Sunday.  I have enjoyed a month of getting ready for Narnia for the kids of Grace – this just reminds me of what Jesus taught – don’t let these little ones stumble!  


I have an object lesson for Adults this Sunday that will be unforgettable!  Don’t miss this Sunday and bring someone with you who needs to be more salty – as we all do!


Pastor Mike
