Follow Along with the Message

Scripture: Acts 26:9–18, 28–29

Main Points:

1. We are called to be witnesses.
   Every Christian life tells a story; our words and actions communicate something about God to the world.

2. Meeting Jesus changes everything.
   Paul knew about Jesus, but his life changed only when he came to know Jesus personally. Our relationship with Christ makes our witness possible.

Key Quotes:

• “Your life may be the only sermon someone ever hears. Live it well.”

• “Knowing about Jesus made no difference to Paul. Knowing Jesus changed his life forever.”

Reflection Questions:

• What story is your life telling right now?

• Where might God be opening a door for you to share hope with someone?

• How are you nurturing your relationship with Jesus so your witness flows from love?

Takeaway:
Grace always takes the first step toward us. Like Paul, we are met by Jesus, changed by Jesus, and sent to tell the story of God’s love.
