Message: “When Holiness and Tolerance Collide” from Tim Melton

A message from the series "COVID-19." In this sermon, Pastor Tim continues the series through the seven churches of Revelation. The church in Thyatira had many good traits but there was one thing that Christ held against them. There was grave sin in their midst and they tolerated it. It is difficult enough when the church is challenged by the world around it, but now the danger had come inside the church. What is a church to do when holiness and tolerance collide? Those who repented would be given grace, those who did not would receive judgment. It was a choice between holiness and sin. Those who were in Christ would overcome.

Being Salt and Light in Spain (Matthew 5:13-16)

Being Salt and Light in Spain (Matthew 5:13-16)

Why did Jesus exhort His followers to be salt and light in the world? Because salt has the property of preserving and preventing decay, and light provides illumination in the dark, so both are very relevant metaphors for the roles that Christ-followers are called to play out in the world. But what if salt loses its flavor, as Jesus asked on one occasion (Mt. 5:13); and what if the light in us is darkened, as Jesus hypothesized another time (Lk. 11:34-35)? These seem to be serious possibilities that Jesus was posing, and should therefore cause us no little concern. What would it look like for Christians to be truly “salty” and to radiate light?
