  1. Quiet Influence “Cultivate inner beauty, the gentle, gracious kind that God delights in” (1 Peter 3:4, The Message)

  2. Introduction Each of us is an “influencer.” Our lives produce a type of fragrance that lingers with others, even after a brief encounter.

  3. Introduction Matthew 22:36-38 Love for others should inspire us to grow in our ability to quietly influence lives like Jesus did.

  4. Introduction Understanding who Jesus was and how He influenced others during His lifetime can help us learn how we, too, can influence other people on purpose!

  5. The Principle of Time Alone with God Prayer was a priority for Jesus. Mark 1:21-35

  6. The Principle of Time Alone with God A solitary place is a state of mind that allows us to listen to God’s voice in spite of outward chaos.

  7. The Principle of Walking and Talking John 9:3-4 Jesus didn’t wait for a classroom setting to teach truth to His followers. He used everyday events and interruptions to make truth memorable.

  8. The Principle of Walking and Talking When we intentionally embrace the principle of walking and talking, we point others to God and encourage their potential, whether they are friends or strangers.

  9. The Principle of Asking Questions Jesus knew the power of a well-placed question. Luke 18:38,41-42

  10. The Principle of Asking Questions • By asking the question: • Jesus gave the man an opportunity to voice his request and feel that someone deeply cared about his answer. • Jesus also provided an opportunity for the man to verbalize his belief.

  11. The Principle of Unconditional Love Jesus practiced the kind of love that doesn’t come naturally. John 8:4-5, 7, 11

  12. The Principle of Unconditional Love When you help someone know they are valuable to God, their worth is validated and they can begin the journey toward a relationship with Jesus.

  13. The Principle of Unconditional Love A person’s actions may not always warrant your support, but their potential does!

  14. Conclusion Jesus’ life gives us an example of how to live. His principles for influencing lives are timeless, and more than that, these principles are available for us to use today.

  15. Conclusion You may be at risk for becoming a Christ-follower who cannot go through a day without influencing someone else’s life like He did.
