So what's YOUR Faith Story?
Tonight we will experience Faith Stories real experiences of lives that are changed and cherished by Jesus. Stories are powerful. We all love stories, especially ones that give us an “inside look” into someone else’s life. But WAIT, do I have a Faith Story? As children of God, we ALL have a powerful story to tell. Sharing how you came to know and experience Jesus and the difference He’s made in your life can help others discover how they, too, can know God personally.
So what’s YOUR Faith Story? Don’t make this too hard - after all, it’s simply the story of YOUR LIFE! Think of it in these categories: 1. Before I knew and trusted Jesus I used to think/ act/ feel…. • What were your attitudes, needs and problems? • What did your life revolve around? What was most important to you? • Where did you look for security, peace of mind, and happiness?
2. What was a significant event/situation/change of heart that you experienced? • What feelings did you struggle with? • What was the turning point in your attitude? • When and why did you begin to feel positively about following Jesus?
3. How do you see/experience/feel God in your life now? • What changes did you see in your life? In your attitudes? In your actions? • What does Jesus Christ mean to you now?
Now practice sharing your stories! Take turns at the supper table, in the car, before bed. Be ready for the opportunity to tell your story and to hear other’s stories. Your story is part of God’s story!
