Let’s be honest: most of us don’t feel like world-changers. We feel like we’re barely keeping up—half-faithful, half-distracted, halfway holy.
But here’s the truth: God doesn’t wait for perfect people to make a difference. He uses available ones.
This week at MtP, we wrapped up our Life in 3D series with the final “D”: Difference-Making. And it’s not about being famous, flashy, or flawless. It’s about being faithful in the everyday.
You Were Made to Matter
Ephesians 2:10 says you’re God’s workmanship—His masterpiece—created to do good works He prepared in advance. That means your life isn’t random. Your job, your relationships, your gifts… they’re all part of a bigger story.
You weren’t just saved from something. You were saved for something.
The Mirror Test
Here’s the gut-check: If someone followed you around for a week, would they see Jesus in your choices? In your calendar? In your conversations?
Difference-making starts with discipleship. It’s not about doing big things—it’s about doing small things with big faith. It’s about living in a way that reflects Jesus so clearly that others can’t help but notice.
Three Ways to Start Making a Difference
If you’re tired of halfway holy and ready to live fully on mission, here’s where to begin:
Live Sent: Your workplace, your neighborhood, your social feed—they’re all mission fields. You’re not just there. You’re sent there.
Multiply What Matters: Don’t just consume faith—reproduce it. Invest in someone. Invite someone. Disciple someone.
Choose Obedience Over Comfort: Making a difference means stepping out. It’s inconvenient. It’s uncomfortable. But it’s always worth it.
You’re Part of the Ripple
You may never preach a sermon or plant a church. But your life can still ripple into eternity. Every act of obedience, every moment of courage, every time you choose Jesus over ease—it matters.
So don’t settle for halfway holy. Don’t settle for surviving. You were made to thrive. You were made to make a difference.
Let’s go live like it.
