Telling Our Stories
Mike spoke tonight on the importance of telling our stories. Having just finished a series on 40 Days of Purpose, we were tonight given an opportunity to hear the importance of relaying that purpose to others. As Christ Followers or not, sharing a story with someone is of incomparable valure for connection and relation. In efforts to relay the gospels to a friend (or even a stranger), nothing works better than sharing your own life and what Christ has done for you. As Mike said, its importance is found in a story's ability to put flesh on the words of the Bible, and lastly that stories are the most poignant tool in speaking directly to the heart.
Sharing faith stories are most easily done with three simple aspects: life before Jesus, process of finding him, and life after Jesus (now).
“I pray that you will be active to
sharing your faith, so that you will
have a full understanding of every
blessing we have in Christ.” Philemon 6

am i a "bad Christian" if i believe in evolution, too ?
because, i believe in the big bang theory and evolution. but i believe that one thing that began it all had to come from somewhere...God. and that Genesis is just an uber fast explanation of evolution.
personally, and i guess obviously, i don't see a problem with my thought process....

Yo Ann, thanks for commenting, you're the first student. I, too, have thought about this, yet sadly don't have an answer or explanation. The questions great though so we'll be sure to tackle it when we start answering all the "God questions" we got. If you want (and I think you should) you can e-mail at mike.harder@branchcreek.org and he'll give ya the scoop. I'm sure he'll comment on here, too, for ya.
