Theme From Sunday's Sermon: Praying for Influence

Topic: Influence Requires God's "Common Sense"

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell, Sheryl Daughety, and Wendy Korbusieski discuss the following questions:

Well, these verses don't talk about common sense for making decisions or for leadership, they mention things we don't often connect with the idea of wisdom. How do these things help us pray for influence?

A lot of people like the idea of having influence with others but they don't often realize that comes with responsibilities. How does influence and responsibility go together?

Tell me what the things this passage says about wisdom look like in your personal life? Which one of these benefits of wisdom do you think you need the most right now?

Which one do you think is most lacking in our church community?

The reading for the day is:

Genesis 35:1–36:43

Matthew 12:1-21

Psalm 15:1-5

Proverbs 3:21-26
