Difference Makers
You Can Make a Difference
Many times because we are one person we think we can’t make a big difference in life.
God has a plan for your life and you can make a difference.
John 4:13 (KJV) Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
John 4:14 (KJV) But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
John 4:28-29 (KJV) The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men, 29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?
John 4:39 (KJV) And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.
John 4:40 (KJV) So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days.
John 4:41 (KJV) And many more believed because of his own word;
John 4:42 (KJV) And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ, the Saviour of the world.
This woman had no doubt experienced such radical change it got the attention of the people.
The greatest witness we could ever be is to let others see our change.
“One Woman Made A Difference”
Noah is “one man” that made a big difference.

Gen 6:9 (KJV) These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.
You can make a difference……
1. in your family.
Living a life of integrity and faithfulness to God influences your family.
Prov 22:1 (NLT) Choose a good reputation over great riches, for being held in
high esteem is better than having silver or gold.

after him.

in his 80’s planting an apple orchard and said
you will never live long enough to eat any apples
from these trees.The old man replied, someone
will.
Your influence should outlive you.
My children are the sermons I will preach to
generations I will never meet.
The earth today still benefits from Noah’s life.
“It’s our time right now to make a difference in
our world”.
4. at any age.
