Theme of the Day: Jesus Calls You Salt and Light
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus teaches us that form and function are closely connected. That means that who we are influences what we do. When God called us to faith, he declared that we were something new: light, salt, his children. Jesus encourages us to be what God says we are as a way of blessing the world through us.
Matthew 5:13-20

Prayer of the Day: Almighty God, you sent your one and only Son as the Word of life for our eyes to see and our ears to hear.
