In what ways can we share the "great works" of God with others? Key Verse “Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” (Acts 2:11) Set the Scene Pentecost exploded with the Spirit’s power. Ordinary believers spoke languages they had never learned, and the crowd understood “the wonders of God.” The miracle underscored a timeless truth: every follower of Jesus can—and must—pass along the stories of His greatness. Why Sharing Matters • God commands it (Psalm 145:4). • The gospel spreads only when His people speak (Romans 10:14–15). • Testimony strengthens faith—ours and others’ (Revelation 12:11). • Declaring His works brings Him glory (1 Peter 2:9). Practical Ways to Declare His Great Works • Personal testimony – Simply tell what Jesus has done for you (Mark 5:19). • Conversational storytelling – Insert God’s interventions into everyday chats; keep it natural, short, and heartfelt. • Scripture sharing – Text or post a verse with a one-sentence note on why it matters to you today. • Acts of service – Meet a need, then explain you’re serving “in Jesus’ name” (Matthew 5:16). • Hospitality – Invite neighbors for a meal; weave God’s goodness into table talk. • Corporate worship – Bring friends to church; let them witness the body praising Him (Psalm 111:1–2). • Discipleship – Open the Bible one-on-one; read, discuss, and pray over God’s mighty acts (Colossians 3:16). • Creative arts – Use music, painting, writing, drama, or media to showcase His power (Exodus 35:30-35). • Social media witness – Share testimonies, answered prayers, and Scripture truths with clarity and humility. • Cross-cultural engagement – Learn another culture or language to communicate Christ (Acts 1:8). Scriptural Encouragement • “Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim His name; make His deeds known among the nations.” (Isaiah 12:4) • “Great are the works of the LORD; they are pondered by all who delight in them.” (Psalm 111:2) • “Whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus.” (Colossians 3:17) Getting Started Today 1. Pray for an open door and boldness (Ephesians 6:19). 2. Recall one recent way God proved faithful. 3. Write it in three sentences—clear and Christ-focused. 4. Share it with one person before the day ends. 5. Trust the Spirit for the results. Take Heart The same Spirit who enabled believers at Pentecost empowers you now. Speak up: God’s great works are too good to keep to yourself. |
