Dan preached a cracker of a sermon last night. Here are my notes:

2 extremes of Christian living: embracing all culture or fleeing all culture. Where do we fit?
It’s easy to live in Christian bubbles – the ‘sneaky amish’. If we never engage with the world, we will never be persecuted; but salt’s actually gotta touch the meat to be useful. Our world needs salt. So, don’t stop being salty – leave a good taste of God’s grace with everyone you meet. Light stands out in darkness. Church is not a Christian club.

Practical stuff: Have conversations more than 3 sentences long with everyone you meet. Intentionally build relationships – eg only buy petrol at one servo. Pray for opportunities to share the good news of forgiveness of sins through Jesus, for courage to take them, and that your life will shine like a city on a hill.
