In week four of A Beautiful Kingdom, our series teaching through the Sermon on the Mount, Pastor Justin Valiquette teaches from Matthew 5:13-16. Jesus calls His followers the salt of the earth and the light of the world. When we fear persecution, we’re tempted to compromise our faith or hide it, but God created us as His image bearers to reflect Him to a watching world. Our transformed lives are His primary mission strategy, and the way to grow isn’t by trying harder. It’s by beholding His glory and being changed into His image.
