Bless: Share Your Story
Speaker: Pastor Aaron Perry
We wrapped up our Bless series with a powerful reminder: your story matters.
What if the best argument for the Gospel isn’t data—but devoted people?
What if the thing that helps someone find Jesus isn’t Scripture first—but your story?
Jesus told His followers, “You will be my witnesses” (Acts 1:8).
Witnessing isn’t about pointing out how wrong others are—it’s showing how right Jesus has made you.
Every believer has a story to tell. The man freed from demons in Luke 8 wanted to follow Jesus, but instead Jesus said, “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” And he did—his life became the sermon.
You don’t have to know every verse to make an impact. You just have to share what God has done in you. Because the life of a changed person can help change the lives of many people.
Here are five ways to know when and how to share your story with someone else:
Pay Attention for the Invitation – Notice when someone opens a door through their story or struggle.
Paint a Picture with Your Problem or Pain – Be real about where you’ve been.
Point to How God Showed Up – Share how His presence or power made the difference.
Propose How God Can Show Up for Them – Offer hope, not pressure.
Practice the Way of Jesus – Live in a way that makes people curious about Him.
As we close the Bless series, remember, God’s story continues through you. Who might He be inviting you to share it with this week?
