Church Services Notes: Salt and Light By Pastor Jon H.
(Bible verse in King James Version)

Mark 9:49,50 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.

1. satan's against me.
-Doubt – satan will make you question God’s
Word and His goodness – and everything else
About God.
-Discouragement – satan will make you look at
Your problems rather than at God.
-Diversion – satan makes wrong things look
Attractive so you will want them more than
Right things.
-Defeat – satan makes you feel like a failure so
You won’t even try.

2. The believer's preparation for being salt and light.
Mark 9:43 – 48 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
