Guest speaker Pastor John Dickson examines Jesus’s powerful teaching in Matthew 5:1-16, exploring how followers of Jesus can impact our skeptical world. We discover how kingdom attitudes like being poor in spirit and meek lay the foundation for authentic Christian living, leading to transformative actions of mercy, peacemaking and pursuing righteousness. Drawing from Jesus’s vivid metaphors of salt and light, we see how these attitudes and actions work together to influence our spheres of influence and draw others to God. We’re challenged to consider how living distinctly as Jesus’s followers can help a skeptical world see the beauty and truth of following Christ.
