Why We Share Our Faith
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it really look like to share your faith with the people around you? In Part 1 of the Salt & Light series, Pastor Jacob gives four reasons why we share our faith. This message unpacks what it means to be salt that brings out the God-flavors of the earth and light that finds the darkest places and lights them up.
If you've ever felt unsure how to talk about your faith, or wondered whether saying yes to God really matters, this message will encourage you and remind you that no matter how stepped on or tossed aside you feel, you are still valuable to God.
