The Church Cannot Hide

In Day 5 of this Good Morning LIVE series, No Turning Back, Pastor James Epperly teaches from Matthew 5:13–16 on Jesus’ call for His people to be salt and light in the world. Jesus never called His Church to survive quietly in a corner. He called us to shine. This message is about living with courage, conviction, compassion, and everyday faithfulness in a world that desperately needs the hope of the Gospel. Being salt and light does not mean becoming angry, political first, or constantly outraged. It means refusing to hide our faith, standing in truth, loving people well, serving faithfully, and pointing others to our Father in heaven. If you have wondered how to live faithfully in these times, this teaching will encourage you to stop hiding, let your light shine, and follow Jesus with no turning back.
