Over the next several weeks, our song shows will be focusing on the book of Acts. I have chosen this book because it is all about how a fledgling church in the face of tremendous obstacles became influential in its world. This is what we are striving for. I hope you enjoy.

Scripture References on Influence
The following is a list of scripture references on the purpose of Influence. I do not intend to suggest that these in any way are exhaustive. Please look at them and add others to the list as you study.
Acts 8:1-8: As the church spread because of the persecution they certainly went about preaching the gospel, but it is also a safe assumption that they were influencing many with their new and different way of life.
Clossians 4:5-6: Paul is trying to help the church members in Colossae know how they should live out their faith in their daily lives. His concern here is how Christians behave toward outsiders. He teaches that they should take advantage of every opportunity to influece them through their example and their speech.
1 Thessalonians 4:12: Here the Christians are being encouraged to lead a quiet and productive life as they wait upon the last day. Part of this reasoning that Paul uses to encourage them toward this life is that they may gain the respect of outsiders.
Matthew 5:16: This is the central text for the purpose of influence. The idea is that by being salt and light we will bring praise to God. Sure this passage can be viewed from the perspective of evangelism, but before we teach we must act.
Romans 12:17-21: Overcoming evil with good implies influence not coercion.
