Are you still making a difference for Jesus Christ, or has your spiritual salt lost its savor? In “Salt That’s Lost Its Savor Is Good for Nothing,” Elder Roger Best delivers a heartfelt, old-fashioned Baptist sermon from Matthew 5:13-16 about being the salt of the earth, letting your light shine, spiritual renewal, Christian living, and reaching lost souls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Jesus said, “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?” This powerful Bible message challenges Christians to examine their relationship with God, renew their commitment to serving Him, and remember their responsibility to share the good news of salvation.

Elder Roger uses the traditional practice of preserving meat with salt to explain the importance of maintaining a faithful Christian witness. Just as salt preserves, believers are called to spread God’s Word, share His love, and continually reach out to those who need Jesus. Sharing the Gospel requires persistence, prayer, faithfulness, and a genuine burden for lost souls.

A central theme of this sermon is the danger of losing spiritual zeal, drifting away from church, becoming spiritually cold, and neglecting God’s calling. Elder Roger shares his personal testimony of spending eleven and a half years away from the work God called him to do. During a revival service, the Lord dealt with his heart and restored his desire to preach, pray, worship, and serve Him.

His testimony reminds Christians that God is still merciful, God still restores, and God is still in the saving business!Those who have drifted away from God are encouraged to repent, return to Him, and renew their commitment to His work.

The sermon also emphasizes Christian unity, church fellowship, evangelism, and soul winning. Elder Roger encourages churches to look beyond denominational differences and work together to reach their communities with the Gospel. The mission of the church is to tell others about Jesus Christ and the importance of being born again.

Drawing from Matthew 5:14-16, Elder Roger reminds believers that Jesus called His followers “the light of the world.”A city set on a hill cannot be hidden, and a candle should not be placed under a bushel. Christians should let their light shine through their testimony, actions, words, and faithful service so others can see God’s love in their lives.

Good works cannot earn salvation, but those who have been saved by Jesus Christ should demonstrate their faith through Christian living and obedience to God’s Word.

Another important theme is the power of prayer and never giving up on lost family members, friends, and neighbors. Elder Roger encourages believers to keep praying for salvation, even when answers do not come immediately. God hears the prayers of His children, and Christians must remain faithful.

This message also challenges the church to return to old-fashioned prayer, humility, repentance, and the altar. The altar is not only for lost sinners seeking salvation. It is also a place for Christians to seek spiritual renewal, thank God for His blessings, and pray for others.

Pride, fear of judgment, and concern about what others think should never prevent believers from responding to God’s Spirit.

Through personal testimony and biblical preaching, Elder Roger reminds us that being born again, washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, and living faithfully for God are what truly matter.

If you have grown spiritually weary, lost your desire to attend church, stopped praying, or drifted away from serving God, this sermon encourages you to pick up your spiritual salt again, rekindle your love for Jesus, and let your light shine!

God is still saving souls, restoring lives, answering prayers, and calling His people to faithful service.

If this Christian sermon encourages your heart, share it with someone who needs renewed faith, spiritual encouragement, or a reminder to return to God.
