Whit Anderson’s sermon focused on the ordinary mission field of our neighborhoods and communities, emphasizing how everyday life can make a difference. He pointed to Micah 4:1–5 and 6:6–8, showing God’s promise to establish a “city on a hill” that offers hope, peace, and security to the nations. Whit explained that God draws people to Himself, transforming their hearts and desires, and that this personal transformation leads to worship and mission. He encouraged believers to live as the light in the darkness by embracing their identity in Christ, practicing generosity, integrity, and grace. Whit highlighted radical hospitality—welcoming strangers and offering care—as a practical way to shine Christ’s light. He also stressed sacrificial love, pointing to the early church’s example of caring for the sick and outcasts, which drew others to God. The sermon concluded with the reminder that even small acts of light, when combined, can have a powerful impact, fulfilling God’s calling for believers to be a city on a hill.
