Your message includes testimony
Tell other of the difference he made for you -
1 Peter 2:9
Witnessing = simply sharing your personal experiences regarding the Lord
In court witness are NOT expected to:
- Prove the truth
- Argue the case
- Press for a verdict
Witnesses simply report what happened to them or what they saw
You will be my witnesses -
Acts 1:8
Personal stories:
- Easier to relate to than principles
- Capture our attention
- People are naturally curious about experiences they never have had
- Builds a relational bridge
- Bypasses intellectual defenses
Be ready to all times to answer for your hope -
1 Peter 3:15-16
Four parts of your testimony:
- What my life was before Christ
- How I realized I needed Jesus
- How I committed my life to Jesus
- The difference Jesus has made in my life
