What did Jesus really mean when He called us “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world”—and then said, “unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees…”? In this message from Matthew 5:13–20, we’ll unpack how followers of Jesus are meant to be distinct in a decaying world, visible in a dark world, and anchored in a deeper righteousness than religious performance. This isn’t about looking spiritual on Sunday; it’s about a life that actually changes the flavor and the lighting of every space we walk into—and points people straight to the Father. Join us as we talk salt, light, and what it really means for Jesus to fulfill the law… and your life. #SaltAndLight #SermonOnTheMount Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Church On The Trail: @churchonthetrail Give towards what God is doing through Church On The Trail: https://www.churchonthetrail.org/give At Church On The Trail, we are traditional in belief, but unconventional in practice.

In Backwards Blessing (Matthew 5:1–12), we watch Jesus step onto a hillside and flip the world’s playbook upside down. The Beatitudes aren’t cute quotes for coffee mugs; they’re a kingdom manifesto—formation vows for people who know they’re spiritually bankrupt, broken over sin, hungry for the real thing, willing to put their strength under God’s control, extend mercy, fight for purity, make the first move toward peace, and stand firm when the pushback comes. This isn’t about performing religion; it’s about becoming disciples who look like their King—right-side up in an upside-down world. #BackwardsBlessing #UpsideDownKingdom #BeatitudesLive Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Church On The Trail: @churchonthetrail Give towards what God is doing through Church On The Trail: https://www.churchonthetrail.org/give At Church On The Trail, we are traditional in belief, but unconventional in practice.

In this message, Pastor Jay Bishop walks through Matthew 4:12-25 and the moment Jesus first says, “Follow Me.” From the arrest of John the Baptist to the launch of Jesus’ public ministry, we see that God’s timing is never off, His purpose never delayed. Pastor Jay draws on his own Army Infantry background—where “Follow Me” means the leader goes first—to show how Christ leads us from darkness into light, from comfort into calling. This sermon calls every listener to repentance and realignment—turning from sin so we can truly follow the King. When Jesus says “Follow Me,” He calls us out of what we were and into who He is. The message ends with the King’s command that still echoes today: Follow Him… and Go.

When Heaven opened over Jesus, the wilderness was next. Watch how He shuts down every shortcut, stunt, and sellout—with the Spirit, the Scriptures, and stubborn obedience. #HeavenOpensHellPushesBack #ItIsWritten #WalkInTheSpirit Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Church On The Trail: @churchonthetrail Give towards what God is doing through Church On The Trail: https://www.churchonthetrail.org/give At Church On The Trail, we are traditional in belief, but unconventional in practice.

Before revival ever hits a city, it has to hit a heart. John the Baptist’s message was simple but savage: repent, make the road straight, and get ready for the King.

From the moment Jesus was born, danger hunted Him. But every threat was met with divine direction—every attack answered by God’s timing. Obedience didn’t remove the danger…it activated deliverance. #DangerAfterDanger #GodsProtection #FaithUnderFire Subscribe to our channel to see more messages from Church On The Trail: @churchonthetrail Give towards what God is doing through Church On The Trail: https://www.churchonthetrail.org/give At Church On The Trail, we are traditional in belief, but unconventional in practice.
