This is our testimony service of different voices from our Salt City family sharing their personal testimonies—of God’s goodness and faithfulness

Each story highlighted the same truth: the gospel meets us in our brokenness, rescues us by grace, and gives us a new life to live on mission.

Our prayer is that these stories would encourage you, stir your affections for Christ, and inspire you to share your own story. Because when disciples share their testimony, the love of Christ spreads—one person, one story, one encounter at a time.

1 Corinthians 13:1–13 — “The Most Important Thing”

Guest preacher Jonathan Brooks unpacks Paul’s message in 1 Corinthians 13, reminding us that no matter how gifted, knowledgeable, or sacrificial we are, ministry without love amounts to nothing. True maturity isn’t marked by talent—it’s marked by a growing love for God, for His people, and for the lost.

Jonathan walks through the character of biblical love—patient, kind, humble, and free from keeping score—and points us to the future hope when temporary gifts fade and we will see Jesus face to face. Because love alone lasts forever.

Strength for the Weary- Isaiah 40:27–31

We all hit seasons where weariness feels overwhelming—when life is heavy, progress feels slow, and God feels distant. That’s exactly where Israel was in Isaiah 40, convinced that God had forgotten them.

But God meets them—and us—with a powerful reminder: He is the Everlasting God. He never sleeps, never weakens, and never stops working. His strength never runs dry.

In this message, Pastor Brandon unpacks the promise that those who wait on the Lord will renew their strength—not through striving, but through trust.

God gives different strength for different seasons:

If you’re tired, discouraged, or just running on empty—this message is for you.

In Church Discipline with Grace (Titus 3:9–11), Pastor Brandon reminded us that a healthy church protects unity by confronting division with grace. Paul warned Titus to avoid foolish debates and unprofitable arguments that distract from Christ and divide the body.

When foolishness turns into division, leaders must graciously correct, not coddle. Paul instructed Titus to warn a divisive person twice—then, if unrepentant, to create distance for the protection of the church. This isn’t cruelty; it’s careful love rooted in holiness. Like leaven in dough, sin left unchecked spreads silently and weakens the whole community.

Discipline isn’t about humiliation—it’s about restoration. It’s grace in action, calling people back to truth and unity. Just as Jesus confronted our sin not to condemn but to redeem, we too confront with compassion and humility.

Bottom line: Confronting sin with grace preserves the purity and unity of Christ’s church and displays the beauty of His redeeming love.

In When Grace Goes Public – Part 3 (Titus 3:6–8), Pastor Brandon reminded us that when grace truly takes root, it transforms us from the inside out. We’re not just forgiven—we’re filled, justified, and adopted into God’s family so we can live as living proof of His goodness.

God didn’t save us to survive on drops of grace—He poured out His Spirit abundantly, like a waterfall. Through that Spirit, we have abundant power for change, grace for failure, and provision for every need. Because of this, we’re called to live out who we truly are: justified by grace, filled with the Spirit, and heirs of eternal life.

Paul urges believers to remember the trustworthy gospel—God’s mercy, new life, and abundant Spirit—and to devote themselves to good works. These good works are not the root of salvation but the fruit of grace—beautiful, tangible acts that make the gospel visible and profitable for everyone.

Bottom line: Remember who God made you to be—His justified, Spirit-filled child—and let that grace flow through you in good works that reveal His goodness to the world.

As we continue in our series on the book of Titus: Blueprint of a Healthy Church, Pastor Brandon preaches from Titus 3:3-6 and shows us that in order to live grace publicly we have to remember three things: who we were, what God has done, and who He’s made us to be. We were once foolish and enslaved by sin, but God intervened—His kindness and love appeared, and He saved us “not by works” but by mercy, through the washing of regeneration and the renewal of the Holy Spirit—we’re freed to extend the same grace to others. The takeaway: The grace that came to us should flow through us, revealing God’s goodness to the world

In When Grace Goes Public (Titus 3:1–2), Pastor Brandon showed that the grace that came to us is meant to flow through us—revealing God’s goodness to the world. God’s grace isn’t meant to stay private; it’s meant to be visible in how we live, serve, and treat others.

In Grace from Start to Finish (Titus 2:11–15), Pastor Brandon continued our Blueprint for a Healthy Church series by reminding us that the same grace that saves us is the grace that sanctifies us and sustains us until we see Jesus face to face. Grace isn’t a one-time event—it’s the foundation of the entire Christian life.

In Godly Service from Titus 2:9–10, Pastor Brandon continued our Blueprint for a Healthy Church series by reminding us that how we serve shapes how people see Jesus. Just like brand representatives embody the image of their company, Christians represent Christ wherever they go—at work, at home, and in the world.

Paul challenged believers in Crete, a culture known for laziness and corruption, to serve differently—to make the gospel believable through the way they live and work. Pastor Brandon unpacked what this looks like:
