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 December! This is such a special time of ye Happy December! 
This is such a special time of year. One in which we take time to look back in thankfulness at what God has done for us by sending His son Jesus, and look ahead in expectation of His soon return! It’s also a great time to read and meditate on “His-story” to see what has already happened, to fuel faith for what is yet to come.

A great way to do this is by turning to the book of Luke. With its 24 chapters, starting today, we can read 1 chapter every day and finish the whole book by Christmas!

Let’s be intentional with our days, and add to our thankfulness challenge by immersing ourselves in the good news … Immanuel, God with us, Peace has come!
