Salt and Light Spring 2025: Life in the Kingdom 

Salt and Light Spring 2025: Life in the Kingdom 

By Brent Davis, Campus Ministry Coordinator 

In the Lord’s Prayer we see Jesus’s vision for life in the Kingdom: 

• Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name 

• Thy Kingdom come 

• Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven 

We do this by 

• Sanctification > becoming w(holy) 

• Edification > building Kingdom community; using gifts; sacred place 

• And transformation > knowing God’s will > cycle back to S & E 

These lead to maturation (telos).

In Acts 2: 46 we see these processes are done through prayer, teaching and sharing together—community! 

The result is personal maturity, flourishing, and God’s glory. (Ephesians 1: 3-22; 2: 10; 4: 1-16).

Community is the theme of Salt and Light this term. Here is our schedule:
