Do you have mentors in your life? Have you become a mentor to someone else?

The sermon centers on the call to become intentional mentors within the church, modeled after the apostle Paul's fatherly role in guiding the Corinthians through love, correction, and example. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 4, it emphasizes that true spiritual leadership is not defined by eloquent speech or status, but by faithful action, sacrificial love, and the power of the Holy Spirit at work in daily life. The preacher illustrates this through personal stories, especially that of a quiet, devoted couple whose consistent love and faithfulness left a lasting spiritual imprint, demonstrating that influence often comes not through grand gestures but through faithful presence. The message calls the church to move beyond passive belief to active discipleship, where every believer nurtures others in Christ, creating a chain of godly influence that resists spiritual decay and equips the next generation to follow Jesus with courage and integrity. Ultimately, the church is called to be a community of power, not just talk, where love for Christ and for one another becomes a visible, transformative force in the world.
