What is Your Why? Matthew 5:13-20

Do you ever feel like the world is spinning out of control? Division, injustice, and power struggles seem to define every aspect of our lives. But what if there was another way—a way that doesn’t just preserve what’s good but actually transforms the world? Jesus’ words in the Sermon on the Mount call us to be salt and light—not just a nice metaphor, but a revolutionary way of living. The world thrives on power and control, but the Kingdom of God advances through radical generosity, peacemaking, and selfless love.

We’ll explore why we exist as followers of Jesus and how our good deeds are meant to be a bold resistance against injustice and greed. When we live as salt and light, we reveal the power of the Gospel—not through greed or violence, but, for example, through generosity and love. Join us as we dive into Matthew 5:13-20 and discover how being part of God’s kingdom is not just about where we go when we die but about bringing the ways of the heavenly kingdom here to earth.
