Breaking the Holy Huddle

Sep 9, 2026 • Pastor Eddie Eaton

Pastor Eddie Eaton teaches from Matthew 5:13–16 that the church must break the “holy huddle” and live as salt and light where God has planted it. A missional church preserves biblical truth, creates spiritual thirst, enters places of darkness, serves visible needs, and uses good works as bridges for gospel conversations—not merely to attract attendance, but to make disciples and glorify God. The lesson’s practical framework is: see, go, serve, and share. Supporting passages include Ephesians 2:8–9 and Matthew 28:19–20.
