In week two of our "Live Free" series, we talk about Approval. Have you ever wondered why your actions are often so motivated by other people? Has that ever gotten in the way of doing what you know you should do and yet you can't figure out why you just continue to concede? Tonight we hear about how the bible shows us that to live free from approval you need a bigger view of God and his goodness! Preached by Jose Concepcion.

**Disclaimer: In this sermon, the time of Peters denial was misplaced to after Jesus' death. The application taken from it still applies regardless of the point in time in which it happened. We appreciate you showing us grace for this mistake!**

We are back!! Spring Semester Kickoff for Salt Company here at UVA and we are excited for what God has in store for this semester!

Have you ever felt the weight of not living up to the expectations that you or others around you have set for you? This one thing heavily impacts how we see the story of our own lives. If there's one thing we know, it's that reflecting on the events of break or fall semester have a big affect on how we see it now. So what is the story you are telling yourself you live in? Is it one of redemption or one of failure and condemnation?

Let's see how the apostle Paul's words to the Romans, show us that because of Jesus work on the cross, we have been given, if we choose to accept it, the ability to live a life free from condemnation! Preached by Jose Concepcion.

It's Christmas time!! So for the last Salt Company of 2025 we are celebrating Christmas early! But is the holiday just about the decorations, the gifts under the tree, and having the fireplace moment with family and friends while watching your favorite movies and having hot chocolate. That's certainly what the world around us says, not that those things are bad, but in the bible, we see that Christmas is truly about Jesus, the gift he gives, and the mission he invites us into! For our last week in our series, "When God Calls," we dive further into this by looking at the how God called Mary and Joseph, how they answered, and how you too can answer!
