In a world filled with headlines of war, division, and uncertainty, what does it actually mean to follow Jesus? In this week’s message from Matthew 5:13–16, Pastor Angelo explores why Jesus calls ordinary people “the salt of the earth” and “the light of the world.” What does that language mean? Why does it come right after the Beatitudes? And how does a faith shaped on the inside become visible on the outside? If the world is not as it should be, this sermon invites us to consider how steady, faithful presence—distinct and present—might be exactly how the Kingdom shows up.
