Continuing the "Counterculture" series, Pastor Norman Hurlow explores why Jesus calls his followers to live differently in the world. Drawing from Matthew 5 and John 17, Norman unpacks the rich metaphors of salt and light—revealing that God's people are called to enhance and preserve what is good, to create a thirst for Jesus, and to bring hope and colour into the lives of those around them. Norman weaves together the imagery of a prism and the Greek word polypoikilós—many-coloured—to cast a vision of the church as a unity in diversity that reflects the manifold wisdom of God. The evidence of God's kingdom, Norman reminds us, is not in numbers, but in love.
