2.22.26 - Truth, Salt, and Light (Kenny Camacho)

SCRIPTURE: Matthew 5:13-16

REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:

  1. In Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus calls his followers 'salt of the earth' and 'light of the world.' How might these metaphors relate to our purpose as Christians in today's world?

  2. The sermon suggests that formation is not about becoming someone different, but rather about revealing who we truly are. How does this perspective challenge your understanding of spiritual growth?

  3. What 'baskets' might be hiding your true identity in Christ, and what steps can you allow Jesus to take to remove them?

  4. How might the sermon's explanation of salt being mixed with sand help us understand the difference between our true identity and the things that dilute it?

  5. What are some 'sandy' elements in your life that might be diluting your effectiveness as a follower of Christ?

  6. Kenny shares Kate's story about being light in dark places. How can being different from the world actually create opportunities for ministry… rather than isolation? What fears do you have about standing out as a Christian, and how might God use those differences for His purposes?

  7. The sermon suggests that being salt and light isn't just another thing we do, but might be 'the thing.' How would this shift in priority change how we approach our daily lives?
