DISCUSSION GUIDE
Use these questions to reflect on this week's message as a family or group.
1. Why is it so important that we share our faith story? Why do you think that it is so difficult to share our faith story with others?
2. Read Acts 26:1-3. Why do you think Paul began with his childhood while talking to a King?
3. In Acts 26:6-8, Paul refers to the resurrection in his presentation of his story. Why is it important to weave the gospel into our story?
4. In John 9, we find the story of the man born blind. After he was healed and then insulted by the religious crowd, the blind man summed up his Jesus experience in verse 25. Why is this such a powerful statement for us today?
5. Homework! Begin writing out your story! Discuss with your family or your group what God has done in your life. Practice sharing the story of how your personal encounter with Jesus changed your life.
