July 15 People of God: Salt and Light Old Testament Isaiah 49:1-7 Psalm 27 Epistle Eph. 5:1-5 Gospel Matt. 5:13-16 Verse for meditation: “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men. You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house” (Matt. 5:13-15)
