Influencer

You don't need a platform or a following to be an influencer—you already are one. This series unpacks what Jesus meant when He called us salt and light, why your influence is more valuable than you think, and how to move past the excuses that keep us from talking to people about God. Your life is influential; the question is what it's influencing people toward.

The Platform Of Influence

Matthew 5:14-16 You are the world’s light—a city on a hill, glowing in the night for all to see. 15-16 Don’t hide your light! Let it shine for all; let your good deeds glow for all to see, so that they will praise your heavenly Father. 1.

Salt + Light

Matthew 5:13-16 You are the salt of the earth. But what good is salt if it has lost its flavor? Can you make it salty again? It will be thrown out and trampled underfoot as worthless. You are the light of the world —like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father. You are the __________ of the earth. You are the __________ of the world. The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.

The Commission

I don't talk to people about God because... 01. I Don't Know Enough 1 Peter 3:15 NLT And if someone asks about your hope as a believer, always be ready to explain it. 1 Peter 3:15 MSG Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you're living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. 02. My Testimony Isn't Impressive 03. Someone Else Will Do it. Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the Lord asking, "Whom should I send as a messenger to this people? Who will go for us?" I said, "Here I am. Send me." 04. I Don't Want To Offend Anyone 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NIV Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
