Topic: The Upside Of Being Different
Scripture: Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. – 2 Corinthians 6:17 (NKJV)
Message: Sometimes we settle for a mediocre life, doing things the way everyone around us does them, because we aren’t bold enough to be the unique individuals God created us to be.
For example, if you don’t like your job, you hate the atmosphere at work (or at home), and you dread spending time there every day, ask yourself if you’re doing anything to change the situation. You don’t have to be like everyone else—you can be different. And you can be a difference maker!
Do you smile at everyone when you arrive, or do you frown like everyone else? Have you said anything encouraging to your co-workers or your family today?
Why not think differently? Why not change the way you talk about your life and all of its aspects? I heard a song once titled, “I Love My Life,” and I thought, That is a great song I wish everyone would sing.
How do I gain confidence to try something new? If you’ll change your outlook and your actions—if you’ll decide to be different—you’ll be amazed at the changes that will take place in yourself and in others.
Prayer Starter: Dear Lord, help me to look to You when I feel fearful and afraid, and You will turn my fear into faith. Help me to step out and do Your will today and every day, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Salvation Prayer
Have you ever made Jesus the Lord and Savior of your life?
If not, pray this prayer and start a new life in Christ.
Dear God, I come to You in the Name of Jesus. I admit that I am not right with You, and I want to be right with You. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins. The Bible says if I confess with my mouth that “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I will be saved (Rom. 10:9). I believe with my heart and I confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord and Savior of my life. Thank You for saving me! In Jesus’ Name I pray. Amen.
