My friend Rob McCoy, pastor of Calvary Chapel in Thousand Oaks, California, preached a sermon last week that explains a portion of Jesus’ words from the “Sermon on the Mount“—about how Christians are to be the “salt of the earth” and a “city upon a hill.”

The sermon is a wonderful explanation of “Jesus in the Public Square.”
