2 Corinthians 5:17

•Life in His kingdom is life as it was meant to be, giving us a new identity and a new set of values and ethics to live by.

Matthew 5:1-12

Matthew 5:13-16

God entrusts us to create the kingdom experience.

You are the salt of the earth.
•He is making it clear how necessary and important we are for the welfare of the world.
•When salt has lost its flavor it turns to dust.
•It is not only good for nothing, but it actually destroys all fertility wherever it is thrown.
•It has to be thrown in the road, where it can’t harm the soil.



You are the light of the world.

•Light removes darkness.
•We not only carry the light of the gospel of the kingdom of God, but we are that light.
•As salt and light, we bring the taste and atmosphere of Jesus’ kingdom to our world.
•Saying “I love my church” isn’t just about us, it doesn’t just impact us; it’s about everyone outside these walls as well.
1. People will experience Jesus’ community when we live its values

•Matthew 5:2-10 = The Beatitudes—the values of the kingdom
•Matthew 5:13-16 = Salt & Light—the charge of the kingdom

Galatians 5:22-23

•The Beatitudes are a character profile of a person who says, “I Love My Church.”
•Seasoning and shining isn't only about the message we declare with our lips, it’s about how we go about living our lives.
2. We live the values of Jesus’ community in our daily ordinary lives

•People will experience the kingdom from you in the natural.
•And they’ll experience it in those moments when the natural becomes extraordinary or supernatural, as people taste and see … from you … that the Lord is good.
3. Those who have truly experienced Jesus will help others experience Jesus

John 13:35
“By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

•How can people observe us having a reputation of love if we are never around people?

1 Peter 3:14-16
