This week’s message reminded us that true influence isn’t about platform—it's about people. Beginning with the story of Mordecai Ham, a lesser-known evangelist whose faithfulness led to the conversion of Billy Graham, we saw how one act of obedience can shape eternity. You truly have no idea how one conversation, one word of encouragement, or one act of love might change someone’s life forever.

In a culture obsessed with viral fame and social media stardom, God redefines influence—not through celebrity, but through faithfulness. As Matthew 5:13–16 declares, we are salt and light, made to shine and shape the world around us.

We explored three biblical examples of everyday people using their influence for the Kingdom:

Priscilla and Aquila: tentmakers whose hospitality and teaching helped shape Apollos, a powerful preacher of the Gospel.

Barnabas: whose encouragement opened doors for Paul and gave John Mark a second chance—his generosity and advocacy influenced early church history.

The Samaritan Woman: an outcast whose encounter with Jesus led to a village-wide revival—proving you don’t need a perfect past to make an eternal impact.
