For this fall we will look at testimony messages spoken in the Old Testament. These testimonies continually pointed people to God, telling of his love and faithfulness, praising his character and his provision, and reminding them of God’s sovereign authority over all of creation. We will look at who is speaking, who they are speaking to, and the response of those that were listening. As we reflect on what is being shared, we can learn better how to share our own stories of faith. We serve a compassionate, faithful, and loving God that reveals himself throughout the pages of Scripture. God wants us to share about his character. He wants us to tell others how he has been faithful. He wants us to always remember who he is and what he has done. When these heroes of the faith speak, we can observe, listen, learn, and imitate what they have said and done and leave a legacy of our own—a legacy of declaring our allegiance to follow Jesus 100% and to tell everyone we know about him.
Let’s have the passion and excitement of the woman at the well after her encounter with Jesus. “So the woman left her water jar and went away into town and said to the people, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did. Can this be the Christ?” (John 4:28–29).
