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.
