Teaching for Men's Breakfast... Get Up
Matthew 5:13-16 (ESV) “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people's feet. You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”

- What Does Salt Do?
- Salt preserves: It keeps things from spoiling. We’re called to preserve the truth in a world of compromise.
- Salt enhances: It brings out the flavor in food. As followers of Christ, we enhance the world by living in a way that reflects God’s goodness.
- Salt creates thirst: Are people thirsting for what you have because they see the difference Christ makes in your life?
- What Does Light Look Like in Darkness?
- Light exposes: It shows what’s hidden in the dark. Are we living in a way that reveals hope and truth?
- Light guides: It helps people find their way. Your life should point others toward Jesus.
- What Keeps Me Salty?
- Stay in the Word.
- Pray daily.
- Surround yourself with godly men who hold you accountable.
- Serve others—you’re never more like Christ than when you serve.
- Examples of Being Salty and Light:
- Praise in the valley like you’re on the mountaintop.
- Praise in the ER like you’re already in recovery.
- Praise in the middle of the battle because the war has already been won.
- “GET UP!”
- When life knocks you down, Christ says, “GET UP!” Be salty. Be a light.
- “GET UP and GET YOU SOME, SON!” (Son of God, that is.)
