Accept or Decline | Pastor Daniel Floyd

Main message: There are two life‑shaping invitations from God: first, to enter an authentic relationship with Jesus; second, to accept the call to share that relationship with others by letting your light shine. Saying yes to both fulfills your purpose, meets a thirsty world, and produces lasting transformation.

Key points:

• Two primary invitations: receive Jesus (relationship/surrender) and then tell others about that relationship (be salt and light).
• You're here to be God's light/seasoning in everyday places — your job, neighborhood, dorm, etc.
• People are spiritually thirsty; we have "living water" (Jesus) and should offer it compassionately.
• The gospel changes us (fruit of the Spirit); our transformed lives are the best testimony.
• Practical steps to share faith: be aware (look for God‑ordained moments), be intentional (seek common ground, avoid arguments, show patience), and simply shine (open hospitality, work faithfully, live quietly).
• When opportunities come, tell your story briefly and invite people to church or to meet Jesus.
