One of the most beautiful realities for the believer is that God
has given you a story. It is a story that isn't meant to be compare
but it is a testimony of God's grace that should be told. This
week, we look at the beauty of your story and the how you can share
that story in ways that glorify God.
If you’re in Christ, you have a story
- There’s no such thing as a bad story. It’s the legacy of
God’s grace in your life.
- Don’t covet the testimony of others. God uses the
testimonies of brokenness, the stories the world looks down on, to
point people to Him and His grace.
[2 Timothy 1:8-9] – “Therefore do not be ashamed of
the testimony about our Lord, nor of me his prisoner, but share in
suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and
called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because
of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus
before the ages began.”
That story is meant to be shared
- God has showed you grace to encourage you – but to also
encourage others.
[2 Corinthians 1:3-4] – “Blessed be the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of
all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, so that we may
be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, with the
comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.”
- People are searching all sorts of ways for hope and
inspiration. To be able to share your story is to be able to point
people to the road that God has graciously brought you down
Different stories have different platforms
- Not every story will be one shared from a stage. Some
testimonies are meant to be shared in a more intimate
setting.
- Some stories inspire. Some empower. They’re all tools to be
used, so pounce when you see an opening to share.
