A Life You Will Love — And That They Will Love You For

What kind of life makes your faith believable? What kind of Christianity actually influences the world around you?In this message, we unpack credible influence — the kind of life that glorifies God, validates the gospel, and brings blessing not just to others, but to you as well.

📖 Key Passage: 1 Peter 3:8–12

Being a Christian isn’t just about proclaiming the truth. It’s about displaying it. You are the living abode of God — and if the world is going to see Him, they’re going to see Him through us.Peter challenges us to the hardest, most beautiful kind of Christian living: one that loves deeply, forgives freely, and blesses radically. This isn’t just good for others — it’s the kind of life you’ll love, and the one God blesses.
