Belief 5 — How We Share
How this reaches people who don't yet follow Jesus.
We share by testimony and by eating the Word together.
Sharing our faith isn’t a sales pitch or a debate. It’s two simple things: a testimony and a shared meal in the Word. “I found better water — come, let me show you where.” Then we open a story and study it together the very same way we feed ourselves: read it, retell it, and discover it — never preach at them.
The woman at the well didn’t argue anyone into faith. She simply said, “Come, see a man who told me all that I ever did” (John 4:29), and brought her town to Jesus. We bring our story and the bread; the Spirit does the feeding. No pressure, no closing the sale — just an invitation to taste.
Scripture — John 4:28–29 (OTB)
“The woman left her water jar and went back to the town, telling the people, ‘Come, see a man who has told me everything I have ever done. Could this be the Messiah?’”
Recite it: We share by testimony and by eating the Word together.
Reflect & do
In one or two sentences, write your own “I found better water” — what’s different since you met Jesus. Be ready to say it to the person you named at the start.
