Walk the Walk — Living a Life that Reflects the Gospel (Find & Follow: Lesson 4)

Pastor Matt Hodge (Discipleship Pastor) - ​​​​​​​​1 Thessalonians 1:5-10​; 2:1-​13 & 19-20; 5:21-24​; Acts 16:22-​24​; Matthew 5:14-16​

 

What gives your words weight when you talk about Jesus? In this episode, we explore how Paul’s ministry in Thessalonica demonstrates that credibility isn’t just about what you say—it’s about how you live. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1–2, we identify five powerful traits of a life that backs up the Gospel with integrity: courage, authenticity, humility, relational care, and consistency. If you want your witness to carry real impact, this lesson will challenge and encourage you to walk the walk—not just talk the talk.

 

Summer Teaching Series:

This is not just another series on the Great Commission—this is a challenge. Do we really want to be a disciple-making church? Are we willing to move beyond good intentions and take Jesus’ final command seriously?

Find & Follow is a 9-week journey designed to help you step boldly into the Great Commission. In the first half of the series, we’ll explore how to share the gospel—from trusting its power to telling our personal stories and living as a witness. Then, we’ll shift our focus to discipleship—what it means to truly follow Jesus, grow in community, and invest in others.
