How can we share God's "awesome deeds" with others in our community? Key Verse “They will proclaim the power of Your awesome deeds, and I will declare Your greatness.” (Psalm 145:6) Understanding God’s Awesome Deeds • God’s deeds are concrete acts in history—creation (Genesis 1), deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 14), the resurrection of Christ (Luke 24). • Scripture presents them as factual events that reveal His character: power, holiness, mercy. • Because they are historical and true, they can be confidently retold to any audience (Psalm 78:4). Practical Ways to Share His Deeds in the Community • Personal Testimony – Tell how God saved you (Mark 5:19). – Share recent answers to prayer (Psalm 66:16). • Storytelling in Everyday Conversation – Weave Scripture stories into normal dialogue—at work, in the neighborhood, during school runs (Deuteronomy 6:7). • Public Scripture Reading – Offer to read a psalm or gospel passage at civic events, nursing homes, or community gatherings (1 Timothy 4:13). • Acts of Compassion – Serve meals, tutor children, or help the elderly “so that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16). – Pair service with verbal testimony: “We do this because God rescued us.” • Creative Expression – Write songs, paint murals, craft social media reels that spotlight specific miracles or parables (Psalm 96:1–3). • Digital Witness – Post Scripture visuals, short devotionals, or livestream Bible readings. – Engage respectfully in online discussions, ready to “give an answer for the hope that is in you” (1 Peter 3:15). • Hospitality – Host a meal, open with a brief recounting of a biblical event and its meaning (Acts 2:46–47). • Teaching the Next Generation – Organize backyard Bible clubs or family devotion nights, retelling God’s works “so the children yet to be born might know” (Psalm 78:6). The Heart Attitude Behind Sharing • Reverence—sanctify Christ as Lord (1 Peter 3:15). • Joy—“Sing to Him, sing praises to Him; tell of all His wonders” (Psalm 105:2). • Love—speak truth graciously (Ephesians 4:15). • Integrity—“Whatever you do, in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus” (Colossians 3:17). Anticipated Outcomes • God receives praise publicly and privately (Psalm 9:1). • Believers are emboldened (Philippians 1:14). • Unbelievers are drawn to salvation (Acts 2:47). |
