Dr. Brad Hoffmann, pastor 

Matthew 5:16 ESV: In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.  

The Influence of Example 

1 Timothy 4:12 ESV: Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. 

The Influence of Words 

Proverbs 18:21 ESV: Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.  

The Influence of Compassion 

Luke 10:33-34 ESV: But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34 He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 

The Influence of Faith 

Hebrews 11:1,6 ESV: Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen...And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.
