Influencing Others by Sharing Our Lives - 1 Thessalonians 2:1-12

Samuel S. Bang The Christian faith has been passed down the past 2,000 years not only through its teaching but through the demonstration of lives lived in faith. All of us are influenced and shaped by the people and things around us. Unfortunately, in spite of advances in technology and social media, we feel more and more isolated from true role models and mentors in our lives who we can imitate and pattern our lives after. This is not how it's meant to be. To truly embrace God's design for transformation, we must be willing to reconsider some cherished ideas about individualism and community.
