Show Notes

Christians are called to live in dark communities; not to retreat from the darkness, but to shine the light of the Gospel within it.

Today, we begin a sermon series from the archives on the Sermon on the Mount, as Paul unpacks Jesus’ call for His followers to live as lights in a dark world and become effective witnesses for Christ.
