Series: Open Our Eyes

We all have standards we are evaluated by in different areas of our lives. In today's sermon we learn that Jesus' words about being salt and light, when read in context, were not just feel-good metaphors, but a sobering evaluation of God's people. Jesus goes on to set an unattainable bar, in order to drive us to the liberating truth that through the cross, Christ's righteousness becomes ours as a gift. This transformative message frees us from constant self-evaluation to serve others with genuine love. Listen now to discover how God's grace turns our "not enough" into "already chosen."
