Will you make a difference?

This powerful message from Colossians 4 challenges us to examine whether our lives truly make a difference in God's kingdom. The core question reverberates throughout: Will you make a difference? We're reminded that God wants to use every believer—not despite our past failures, but through His redemptive power working in us. The sermon emphasizes that our speech must always be seasoned with grace, as Colossians 4:6 instructs, meaning our words should extend mercy and favor even to those who don't deserve it. This isn't about personality or perfection; it's about allowing God to work through our brokenness. We're called to be vigilant in prayer, thankful in all circumstances, and ready to share the gospel when doors open. The testimony of a child's miraculous healing from a burn serves as a vivid reminder that we serve a miracle-working God who always provides. Our tendency to doubt God's provision when prayers seem unanswered is confronted head-on—the Lord will provide, not sometimes, but every time. This message urges us to stop living as though our lives don't matter and instead embrace the truth that God has given each of us spiritual gifts and a divine purpose to impact both the lost and our fellow believers.
