Sharing My Story and God's Story
Today we wrap up our look at our story and God's story by communicating both in our small group. Students and leaders will be encouraged to tell their stories and relationships to our Savior, Jesus Christ. Come join us!

Sharing Your Story and God's Story
Accepting Christ as my Savior; its about three stories colliding into my life and having the light go on. The three stories are from the person who shared Christ with me, God's story, and my reflection on my own story.
Today we will be encouraged to share our story as fearlessly and honestly as we can, not from a position of moral or spiritual superiority but as someone in need of a Savior. Your story may be dramatic, but it doesn't have to be. God can use your story no matter what. A clean, moral life shows the power of God for living, which draws some people. A dramatic turnaround displays the power of God to transform, which draws others.
Scripture references are from Colossians 4: 2-6, Philippians 1: 27-30, 2: 14-18, 1 Peter 2: 11-25.

Sharing Your Story and God's Story
What you see isn't always what you get. You have probably heard that phrase before. As God prepares our hearts to be evangelistic and we learn the importance of friendships, listening, sharing our story, and sharing God's story, we benefit from getting a grasp of this truth. We don't see anything until we get behind a person's mask.
Jesus was a master at seeing past masks and into people's hearts. Read John 4:4-29. This is the account of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at a well. Jesus introduces her to "living water".
Another aspect of evangelism we can consider is establishing friendships. Friendships and spending time hanging together will make the difference in creating opportunities for talking about Jesus. By taking steps to build friendships, we will have opprotunities for spiritual conversations. We will identify friendship qualities and how friends tell friends their stories. Read 1 Corinthians 9:19-23.
