Building a Legacy of Faith | Pastor Alex Pappas

Influence shapes who we are at our core. There is godly influence and there is harmful influence. Scripture teaches that walking with the wise brings wisdom, and that evil company corrupts good habits. Jesus calls us to be salt and light. In this continuation from last week, Pastor Alex unpacks how influence forms character and behavior, how it moves through family, marriage, community, and leadership, and how examples from the Bible and today point people toward God. Influence is never neutral. It builds up or tears down. Choose to imitate Christ and sharpen one another. We close with prayer for strength and courage, and an invitation to give your life to Jesus or rededicate your walk. Scriptures:  Proverbs 13:20, Matthew 5:13–16, 1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 27:17, 2 Timothy 1:5, Deuteronomy 6:6–7, Proverbs 22:6, 1 Samuel 25:32–33, 1 Kings 21:25, Daniel 1:8, 2 Kings 18:5–7.
