Listen "Worth Sharing: God's Story & Your Story"
Episode Synopsis
God has a story. The church has a story. And you have a story too. We were all born someplace, had a family, grew up, maybe got married or maybe didn’t, and so and so on. Even if we never sit down to write our autobiography, we all have a narrative we keep in our head about who we are and where we came from: a story about significant events, crucial decisions, values and commitments that shaped us.
And here’s the thing: God’s story has interesting ways of intersecting with our own story. Christians are people who can look at their own life story and trace God’s handiwork. Christians are people who look at their own life and speak not only of their own activity, but God’s. They don’t just look at their story and say ‘I decided to do this,’ but ‘God did that.’ They can say, ‘God taught me, God empowered me, God rescued me,’ or whatever it may be.
We have a story. And somewhere in that story, God is at work. Somewhere, your story intersects with God’s story about the redemption of the world. Now, what that looks like will be different for everyone. Some of you have a story that’s a u-turn like Paul’s. Some of you have a story that’s a straight line: you’ve been following Jesus for as long as you can recall. All our stories are different, but in each of our stories, God is at work somewhere. Part of sharing the gospel with others is being able to spell out the difference Jesus has made for you, in your life.
1 Corinthians 15:3-10
