Are You Willing to Go Home and Share Your Story?
About this episode
Pastor Roderick Webster discusses the importance of sharing personal stories of faith with family and friends, using the biblical account of Paul's rejection and Barnabas's support as a backdrop.
Are you willing to go home and share your story with the people who know you best? In this episode of Words From The Word, Pastor Roderick Webster walks us through Acts 9:26-30 (KJV) and the powerful account of Paul's rejection in Jerusalem — and how one man, Barnabas, changed everything by simply being willing to vouch for a changed life. You might be asking... Why didn't the disciples trust Paul even after he became a Christian? What made Barnabas different from everyone else? Does God really want me to witness to my own family and friends? What if I don't know what to say? Key points from this devotion: - Rejection from the inside can hurt more than opposition from the outside - Barnabas was trusted because he had already proven his heart through sacrifice - God calls us into fellowship with His Son and with His people (1 Corinthians 1:9) - Witnessing begins at home — your Jerusalem comes first (Luke 24:47) - Your testimony is a tool God is already preparing someone to hear If you've been holding back from sharing Jesus with your family, let this devotion move you to take that first step today.
