In the book of Acts, we see the Holy Spirit writing testimonies, not biographies.

- A biography tells the story of your life, “Look what I did.”

- A testimony tells the story of Jesus in your life, “Look what Jesus did.”

5 Testimony Questions

1. What were you like BC (before Jesus)?

Acts 9:19-25a

2. How did you see Jesus then versus now?

“…For some days”

Galatians 1:15-18

3. What does time with Jesus look like?

- Not, “I’m going to go to work and then ask God to bless it.” Wrong order.

- God, “Meet with me. I’ll tell you what to do, and how to do it, and prepare you for it, and get your heart ready, and then it’ll be to my glory.”

Acts 9:23-25

4. How have you sacrificed / suffered for Jesus? Are you willing, really?

- Do you want to be perfected in your faith?

- Have you sacrificed relationally, emotionally, financially, physically?

Acts 9:31-35

5. What role does the Church (the bride and body of Christ) play in your life?

- Barnabas took personal risks to ‘encourage’ Paul to engage with believers.

- Who do you have faith for, that the Lord can changed them?
