Message Review

As followers of Christ, we’re called to impact people for Jesus—not just through what we say, but through how we live every single day because our actions always speak louder than our words.  One of the most powerful ways we can impact people for Jesus daily is by adding value in a way no one else does.

Main Point: Add value in a way no one else does.
