Learn How to Tell Your Story!

June 11, 2008 Posted by admin Life Groups

We’ve had so people share their stories with us about how God is changing their lives!

This is an exciting time, because God is causing us to be alert & see the possibility of revival in our land.

Our Tues. evening class “Just Walk Across The Room”, lead by Pastor Jonnie, has been very encouraging! We have learned a lot about the need to get involved in the lives of others. Not to merely “convert” them, but to show them the true love of Jesus.

If you have ever said things like…

  • I don’t know what to say to people
  • I’m afraid I won’t know all the answers
  • I don’t know how to start the conversation
  • What if they reject me

Then you will love the simplistic methods that Pastor Bill Hybels shares in his book “Just Walk Across The Room.” He breaks things down into simple practical steps for us to live by.

  1. Simply be willing to walk into a person’s life
  2. Take the first step towards someone & be genuinely interested in them as a person
  3. Find out their story
  4. Share your story
  5. Continue to show the love of Jesus, be aware when the Holy Spirit prompts you to speak, and allow God to do the work in their lives

Last night, we learned the importance of getting familiar with your own story. So many times, people don’t know where to begin, so they begin “all the way” back at the beginning (of creation 😉 We learned how to prepare our story, so that it is concise, and to the point. After all, we may only have a moment or two with someone, and we want to leave them with hope.

Your story should consist of 3 elements:

  1. Before Jesus
    How was your life before you met Jesus? Write down some adjectives to describe what your life was like.
  2.  Jesus
    What brought you to a relationship with Jesus?
  3. After Jesus 
    How has your life changed since you made Jesus the center of your life? In this part, you can also share something that He is still working on in your life.

Take these 3 elements that you have written down, and try to put them together into a brief (approx. 1 minute) story about how you came to Christ. Become very familiar with what you have written down, so that you will feel very comfortable sharing it with those you come in contact with.

Here’s what the bible has to say about being prepared to share our story.

1 Peter 3:15-16
And if someone asks about your Christian hope, always be ready to explain it. But do this in a gentle and respectful way. NLT

I also like how the message bible says it…

Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy.

Happy Mother’s Day! What a high calling and bles Happy Mother’s Day!
What a high calling and blessing it is to be a part of God’s plan in this way. To raise children that He loves, sees, and knows is one of the greatest responsibilities and highest honors. They are His gift and your heritage. We honor you today and say thank you for all you do, seen and unseen, to care for and nurture these gifts from God 🤍

“Behold, children are a heritage and gift from the Lord, The fruit of the womb a reward.”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭127:3‬

“For You formed my innermost parts; You knit me [together] in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks and praise to You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Wonderful are Your works, And my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was being formed in secret, And intricately and skillfully formed [as if embroidered with many colors] in the depths of the earth. Your eyes have seen my unformed substance; And in Your book were all written The days that were appointed for me, When as yet there was not one of them [even taking shape]. How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How vast is the sum of them!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139:13-17‬

“For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My [own] life so that I may take it back. No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I am authorized and have power to lay it down and to give it up, and I am authorized and have power to take it back. This command I have received from My Father.””

“The next day, when the large crowd who had come “The next day, when the large crowd who had come to the Passover feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, they took branches of palm trees [in homage to Him as King] and went out to meet Him, and they began shouting and kept shouting “Hosanna! Blessed (celebrated, praised) is He who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!””
