-
Salt & Light (Matt. 5:13–16) – Influence comes from who we are in Christ.
-
Daniel’s Faithfulness (Dan. 6:1–10) – Habitual prayer, covenant loyalty.

-
Peter & John’s Boldness (Acts 4:13) – Influence fueled by intimacy with Jesus.
-
Christ’s Servant Influence (Phil. 2:5–11) – True influence through humility.
Final Challenge: Audit your influence. Deepen roots in Christ.
Closing Prayer: Lord, make us authentic salt and light, shaped by Your Spirit, reflecting Your love. Amen.
