Sermon
Stay Salty
Center Church

Summary
Jesus teaches three ways believers stay salty—distinct from the world: celebrating other believers rather than competing with them, intentionally investing in the next generation, and taking sin seriously through decisive action. The sermon emphasizes that identity in Christ frees us from jealousy and enables us to build a community of honor.
Highlights
When you're jealous, it's really easy to be critical. When you're jealous, it's really easy to let your jealousy sort of drive you to finding faults in other people's lives.
If you realize that your identity isn't based on your spiritual performance, but it's based on God's acceptance of you in Christ and in the performance of Jesus and in the finished work of the cross, then it frees you to celebrate the success of other people.
Be killing sin or sin will be killing you.
