Speaker: Jason Bengston
Scripture: Mark 9:49–50
Summary:
In Salted With Fire, the sermon explores Jesus’ cryptic teaching in Mark 9:49–50, where He declares, “Everyone will be salted with fire. Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness…” The message unpacks the metaphors of salt and fire, explaining how discipleship involves being refined through trials, preserving spiritual integrity, and living in unity with others. Salt symbolizes purity, covenant-faithfulness, and influence, while fire represents the refining challenges believers face. The sermon challenges listeners to maintain their “saltiness” in faith, endure hardship with resilience, and stay at peace with one another as part of a faithful Christian witness.
