Righteous Influence

What does it truly mean to have a "righteous influence" in a world that constantly seeks attention and acclaim?In this stand-alone message, Executive Pastor Wade Burgess explores how God frequently uses the little-known and no-named believers to accomplish His work. By examining biblical figures such as Abel, Tychicus, and Lazarus, Pastor Wade illustrates how our hearts, actions, and willingness to share what God has done for us can point others to Jesus. The sermon highlights four essential characteristics of righteous influence—a willingness to give everything, having little regard for self, speaking and acting differently from the world, and maintaining long-term consistency.In this episode, we cover:The Heart of Righteous Influence: Understanding that true, God-honoring influence stems from a heart properly aligned with God, as shown through Abel’s faith and offering.Anonymous Obedience Matters: Recognizing that long-term, steadfast obedience without public recognition often produces deep, lasting influence in the lives of those around us.The Witness of What God Has Done: Learning from Lazarus that simply sharing how Christ has transformed us carries immense power to draw others to faith.4 Characteristics of Righteous Influence:A willingness to give everything to God.Placing God first, others second, and self third.Speaking and acting differently than the surrounding culture.Displaying unswerving daily consistency in our words and behavior.Small Actions Have Big Impact: Realizing that even small acts of service, encouragement, and faithful presence act as a "trim tab" that alters the direction of others' lives.Be sure to follow us:InstagramFacebookYoutube
