Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this message, Ryan Leak encourages believers to step beyond the walls of the church building and live out their faith in everyday spaces. Looking at the life of Jesus, where ninety-two percent of His miracles took place outside the synagogue, we see that effective ministry happens through our daily proximity to people in pain. By sharing Christ through our wounds, our work excellence, and our prepared words, every Christian can bring hope and healing to the world around them.

Sermon Moments

“The Great Commission is not given because of our talent, but because of our proximity to people in pain.”

“Ninety-two percent of Jesus' miracles happened outside the gathering of God's people.”

“Jesus turned a five-time divorcee into an evangelist in a single moment, proving that our calling often comes before we have everything figured out.”

“When we treat Jesus as our real boss, our work ethic becomes a silent testimony that earns people's respect.”

“Sharing grace with others is simply giving away what we received when we won the eternal jackpot of God's forgiveness.”

“Asking service workers 'Is there anything going on in your life that I can pray for?' can change lives one everyday interaction at a time.”

This Week

Be on time for commitments and workplace meetings to show respect and win the trust of others.

Check on co-workers or friends when you do not need anything from them, showing sincere care.

Work with excellence and a positive attitude as if Jesus is your direct boss, regardless of your employer or situation.

Refuse to participate in workplace gossip and instead speak positively about people behind their backs.

Ask service workers and daily contacts a simple question: "Is there anything going on in your life that I can pray for?"

Prepare a simple, personal statement explaining the reason for the hope and grace you have in Jesus.

Be open and authentic about your past struggles and current needs for God's grace rather than pretending to be perfect.

Remember This

Believers are called to take their faith outside the church building and point others to Jesus through authentic vulnerability, workplace excellence, and intentional words of hope.
