2. Everyone Has a Story!
Effective sharing of your faith
includes telling others how God
has worked in your life!
…that the sharing of your
faith may become effective
by the acknowledgment of
every good thing which is in
you in Christ Jesus.

3. The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)
4
I thank my God, making mention
of you always in my prayers, 5
hearing of your love and faith
which you have toward the Lord
Jesus and toward all the saints,
Love and faith expressed to
Jesus and people
(Christians…)

4. Galatians 6:10
10
Whenever we have the
opportunity, we should do good
to everyone, especially to our
Christian brothers and sisters.

5. Matthew 22:37-40
37
Jesus replied, " 'You must love
the Lord your God with all your
heart, all your soul, and all your
mind.’ 38 This is the first and
greatest commandment. 39 A
second is equally important: 'Love
your neighbor as yourself.

6. Matthew 22:37-40
All the other commandments and
40
all the demands of the prophets
are based on these two
commandments."

7. The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

that the sharing of your faith may
become effective by the
acknowledgment of every good
thing which is in you in Christ
Jesus.

8. God is at Work in You!
• acknowledgment-do you recognize God
is at work? Give Him credit!
• every good thing-have you taken time to
think about all the good things He has
done? “Count your blessings…”
Really—make a list!
• in Christ Jesus-this is all about Jesus
at work in you, through you, for you

9. The Book of Philemon (New King James
Version)

For we have great joy and
consolation in your love, because
the hearts of the saints have been
refreshed by you, brother.

10. Everyone Has a Story!
• Everything mentioned thus far points
to the result: hearts of people
(specifically Believers) have been
refreshed and encouraged.
• Do we underestimate how we impact
the lives of others?
• Do we underestimate the value God
places on our encouragement of
others?

beside the well and went back to
the village and told everyone, 29
"Come and meet a man who told
me everything I ever did! Can this
be the Messiah?” 30 So the people
came streaming from the village

village. So he stayed for two

hear his message and believe. 42

"Now we believe because we have
heard him ourselves, not just
because of what you told us. He is
indeed the Savior of the world."
