Salt & Light

Summary

Elder Michael Goans preaches from Matthew 5:13-16, emphasizing that Christians are called to be the salt and light of the world. He explains that believers are to influence culture positively by living out authentic Christian character, slowing societal decay and shining truth into darkness. The sermon highlights the tension between being world-engaged but not world-embracing, encouraging believers to impact their immediate circles with humility and faithfulness. Ultimately, Christians represent the kingdom of God in a corrupt world while looking forward to the eternal home in heaven.
