children's message, "salt of the earth", by Pastor Ruth Foss, Stetson Memorial United Methodist Church, October 26, 2014

Children’s message 10/26/2014
contemporaneous notes

mystery box:

a shaker of salt

-          Matthew 5:13-14

-          salt is used for seasoning food
o   Jesus wans us to be seasoning
o   salt of the earth
o   flavoring the world around us
o   seasoning to share
o   to bring others to Jesus
-          if we leave salt in the cabinet, just left on the shelf
o   it loses its taste
o   not good for seasoning
-          want us to be fresh
-          how are we seasoned, refreshed
o   follow Jesus
o   going to church
o   spreading the message around
o   prayer
o   open the bible and learn about Jesus
-          so that the smell of Jesus will be all over us

Become salt that seasons the world
