Episode Details

Following Jesus is not limited to church gatherings. Pastor Chris Teien shares how believers can live out Christ’s love in everyday places like work, school, sports, hobbies, and relationships. Wherever God has placed us, we can serve with excellence, shine His light, encourage others, and be ready to share our faith.

In This Message

1. Serve with Excellence as Worship
(Colossians 3:23-24)
Work, school, and play can all become acts of worship when we do them for the Lord. Faithfulness, reliability, diligence, and integrity can point others to Christ.

2. Be a Light in Every Environment
(Matthew 5:14-16; John 13:35)
Christians are called to shine God’s love wherever they go. Our words, attitudes, kindness, honesty, and willingness to pray can open doors for gospel conversations.

3. Practice Humility and Teamwork
(Mark 10:45)
Jesus modeled servant leadership. We show love when we put others first, help without needing recognition, celebrate others’ successes, and work together for God’s glory.

4. Speak Life-Giving Words
(Proverbs 15:4; Ephesians 4:29)
Words can either tear down or build up. Encouragement, gratitude, patience, and hope can strengthen people who are struggling and point them toward God’s grace.

5. Be Ready to Share Your Faith
(1 Peter 3:15; 2 Corinthians 5:20)
Believers are Christ’s ambassadors. We should live in a way that makes our faith visible and be prepared to explain the hope we have in Jesus when opportunities come.
