People all over the world have different ideas, thoughts, and explanations for talking to God, a.k.a. prayer. Have you ever wondered why people do it? What the point of it is? How to do it? Or does it even work? Well this week at Salt Company we dive into Daniel 9 to see what the Bible tells us about talking to God! Preached by Jose Concepcion.

Have you ever wondered if the Bible is actually worth reading? Is it outdated, does it apply to us, can I even trust it? Maybe it seems intimidating and you have no clue how to get started or where to begin? This week at Salt Company, we hear how the Bible answers these questions, shows itself to be truly worth the time of reading it, and getting started is much simpler than we think! Preached by Mark Vance.

Does God still move in the way that we see He did in the bible today? Hear three stories about how God has helped people Live Free in their lives today!

Have you ever had those moments of frustration where you ask yourself, "Why am I like this?", or told yourself that you would change and yet you keep doing the opposite? What we know is, whether you acknowledge it or not, within all of us is a constant battle of, our desires to do what we know we should/want to do, with our desires to do what we know we shouldn't/don't want to do. This constant struggle can often leave us feeling trapped or hopeless.

In the final week of our "Live Free" Series, we look at how the bible shows us that Freedom isn't the absence of a struggle; it’s fighting with perspective and persistence! Preached by Jose Concepcion.

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!

Are you ever confused when thinking through the concept of “God’s Calling” for: your life, a specific situation, or opportunity? How do you know what God’s Calling is? How do you know it’s for you? How do you step into that? How can we trust it? How can we be committed to it? These things hinge on this fact - in order to complete the Calling of God, we must first know the Character of God - In week two of our series “When God Calls” we dive into Isaiah 6 to see how the Sovereignty, Transcendence, and Holiness of God, brought Isaiah into a bold position of answering God’s call and how through these same things God can take away all your confusion! Preached by Keaton Daniel.
