Life as a Nudge: The Letter Written with Your LifeRomans 15:7 | May 3, 2026 | Worship Frontier Church of Boston

This page is designed to help English speakers follow along during the Korean sermon. Match each section with the Live Notes on your phone.

OPENING

Today we share communion. We will break bread and pass it to the person next to us.

No explanation needed. No words required.

→ PPT: "Just pass it. That is already a nudge."

That passing is already a nudge. The softest nudge, written not with words, but with your life.

BRIDGE — For Those New Today

One word of context before we begin.

Nudge = A gentle contact that moves people in a better direction — without force. Good deeds = The softest nudge, written with your life. VIP = The person Jesus cares about, close to your life, not yet knowing Him.

The word "nudge" comes from English — to push gently with the elbow to get someone's attention. Not a shove. Not a demand. A gentle contact.

Last week we talked about good deeds as nudges. Today is the next question: who are we? Our identity.

→ Live Notes: See the Last Week Review in the Scripture section.

C-1. GOOD INFECTION

C.S. Lewis wrote this in Mere Christianity. Let's read it together.

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"Good things as well as bad are caught by a kind of infection.If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire.If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life,you must get close to the thing that has them." — C.S. Lewis

Good things are not transferred by explanation. They are caught — like warmth from a fire.

If you want to get warm, you don't read about fire. You stand near the fire.

That is what a nudge does. It doesn't argue. It doesn't convince. It simply radiates.

→ Live Notes: C-1 — Fill in the blanks

Good things are caught by [infection]. Not by explanation, but by [contact].

→ Live Notes: My Anchor

"What is the warmest fire in your life right now?"(Write one sentence. 30 seconds.)

C-2. THE BURNING BUSH

In Exodus chapter 3, Moses saw a burning bush in the wilderness. The bush was on fire — but it did not burn up.

God was inside it.

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"Jesus was the burning bush.God was in him. Yet he was not consumed."

Jesus was that burning bush.

He ate with sinners. He reached out to the sick first. He forgave from the cross — before anyone apologized.

No press release. No announcement. He simply burned.

That burning changed everything. Twelve ordinary people caught the fire. Not because they were eloquent. Because they stood near the fire.

→ Live Notes: C-2 — Fill in the blanks

Jesus was the burning [bush]. Yet he was not [consumed]. He [first] reached out to the sick. He simply [burned].

→ Live Notes: To Myself

"In what situation am I going cold instead of burning?"(Write honestly. 30 seconds.)

C-3. LITTLE CHRIST

C.S. Lewis concludes Mere Christianity with this. Let's read it together — slowly.

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"Every Christian is to become a little Christ."

This is our identity. Not a grand one. A small one.

Because God dwells in me — I am a little burning bush. God is inside. I burn but am not consumed.

Because I give freedom through contact — I am a little touch. I reach out first.

Because I am broken and passed on — I am a little bread. Like this communion bread — broken, and given.

Because I flow without explanation — I am a little nudge. No announcement. No agenda. Just living.

→ Live Notes: C-4 — Fill in the blanks

Every Christian is to become a little [Christ]. I am a little [burning bush]. I am a little [touch]. I am a little [bread]. I am a little [nudge].

→ Live Notes: To Myself

"Which of the four is hardest for you right now?""Where will you live as a little Christ this week?"(30 seconds.)

PRACTICE — TAP & VIP

TAP = Touch and Prayer

Jesus gave freedom to people through contact. He had a spirit of touch.

Before you leave someone — one sentence:

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"May I pray for you?"

Place your hand. Pray briefly. Then rise. No pressure. No agenda. Just pass it — like bread.

Each of us has a VIP. This week, one practice:

Pray for your VIP — but ask for just one step.

Look at the stages on the screen. Where is your VIP right now? Don't ask for everything. Ask for the next one step.

→ Live Notes: E — Write your VIP's name. Check their stage. Fill in the prayer.

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"Lord, I pray for _______.Move them just one step forward from where they are.Let me be the nudge for that one step. Amen."


CLOSING — COMMUNION

Now we break bread.

Pass it to the person next to you. Look at them.

They may be here for the first time. They may be exhausted. They may be your VIP.

You don't need to say a word.

→ PPT: Read aloud together

"Every Christian is to become a little Christ.""You are a little burning bush.""Just pass it."

No explanation. No calculation. Just pass it.

Like fire. Like bread. Like a nudge.

The letter written with your life begins right now.

ONE-LINE PRAYER

"Lord, let me live as a little burning bush.Without explanation. Without calculation.Just burn. Amen."
