## Resource

In this message, Pastor Chad Veach launches the series “Better and Brighter,” teaching from Matthew 5 that followers of Jesus are called to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Christians aren’t meant to live for themselves, but to live on mission — helping people who are far from God encounter His love and grace. Pastor Chad emphasizes that the heart of the gospel is rescue. God didn’t send Jesus to condemn the world but to save it. Through stories like the lost sheep and the lost coin, he reminds us that being lost does not remove someone’s value — it only changes their location. God relentlessly pursues people who are far from Him because they still belong to Him. The message challenges believers to stop living small, self-centered lives and instead join God’s rescue mission. Ordinary people carry an extraordinary message — the gospel of Jesus. When Christians live boldly and share their faith, they become the salt and light that can make their cities, communities, and workplaces better and brighter.
