I can’t really get through to what God has for me if I’m stuck in a loop of what I think He wants from me. My only hope to navigate is this crazy unexplainable faith. Sometimes it’s hard work and in my opinion, it can’t be done alone. Scripture Verse: 2 Corinthians 12:9-10 ...”My grace is all you need, for my power is greatest when you are weak.” I am most happy, then, to be proud of my weaknesses, in order to feel the protection of Christ’s power over me. I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

To Witness is simply to tell true stories. It’s been God’s pattern from the beginning. We are part of a Legacy of storytelling that originates from love and finds it’s purpose in love.

Jon Eshleman joins us this week to speak on love.

In this short message we look at the Biblical example of what it is to witness and what it looks like for us today to 'bear witness.'

When it comes to sharing our faith, most people think it is awkward. We feel we have to talk about things we don’t understand to people we don’t know. That is awkward. Don’t do it. As we look at the way Jesus shared the Truth and the way those who trusted Him shared about Him we see a pattern that is natural for us. We only have to remember two words. We invite you to listen in to John 1:35-42 to discover these two words.

What if the character of Christ was reducible to two elements? What if we, in sharing our faith, require just two ingredients? In fact there are 2 qualities that are necessary in being the sincere, transparent witnesses of Jesus.

We’ve been given a Message to share. We are ambassadors, representatives, messengers for Christ. It’s an intimidating role. But, as Paul teaches in 2 Corinthians 15:16-20, it’s more natural than you think to be an influencer.

When the topic of sharing our faith is brought up, more than 90% of people who have a faith in Jesus are struck with fear or guilt. Something so beautiful as sharing a life changing understanding of Jesus an His love should not be so awkward and uncomfortable. Therefore, we must be wrong in our understanding of what is expected of us and what it can look like to be a part of Changed Lives.

To be devoted = to persist in adherence, to discipline to a patter, to attend to constantly., to be committed. We were made to be 'devoted' to sharing meals with others. For this reason it is good to our soul.
