| 0:00.0 | I met hello and welcome to Amen podcast where we preach the good news of Jesus Christ and |
| 0:09.1 | how it applies to everyday life. I'm looking on your host and today my husband Alex is preaching |
| 0:15.6 | about being salty. We're continuing our series in Matthew looking at verse 5 13 verse 13 in chapter |
| 0:25.1 | 5. We're in the NLT version today. I'll go ahead and read and Alex will take it from there. |
| 0:32.4 | You are the salt of the earth but what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty |
| 0:39.2 | again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. Amen. Thanks for being here. |
| 0:46.4 | Thanks for listening. Thanks for supporting at amenpodcast.com. Today's episode is going to be a big |
| 0:52.3 | one a heavy one. It'll be maybe your new favorite because we're going to look at what it means to |

| 1:32.4 | a part of the kingdom of heaven and it means not only that not only that you're going to heaven |
| 1:38.0 | but you're a part of the company of people that are going to heaven because he says in verse 12 |
| 1:43.2 | every single one of the prophets was persecuted for preaching the good news for preaching repentance. |
| 1:52.3 | Now when Jesus is talking I want you to remember back to episode mountain he was talking to his |
| 1:57.2 | 12 disciples he was talking to them and the crowds were nearby maybe ease dropping but this whole |
| 2:03.8 | conversation is not to a youth group it's not to a church it's it's it's not to me and you |
| 2:08.8 | specifically it applies to me and you but Jesus was speaking it to the apostles these are the ones |
| 2:13.7 | who have physically met and saw the risen Lord and almost every one of them was going to be |
