Sabbath School Study Hour

If our witness about Jesus comes from a heart that has been transformed by His grace, charmed by His love, and amazed at His truth, others will be impressed with how the truth we believe has impacted our lives. Truth presented in the context of a changed life makes all the difference.

"Small group ministry is ordained by God to enable each church member to grow spiritually, experience warm fellowship, and utilize their God-given gifts in service."

"Our attitudes often determine our ability to influence others. A harsh, critical, and unfriendly attitude is going to drive people away from you, and even if you are able to witness, your words, no matter how truthful, are much less likely to be received. In contrast, a positive attitude and a belief in others draws them to us. It creates a bond of friendship."

"The living witness of a Christ-like life committed to ministering to others is a powerful testimony to the words we speak and gives credibility to our witness."

'In all of our witnessing, we must keep three biblical principles in mind: what we say, how we say it, and when we say it.'

'God calls us to witness for Him. Witnessing is not a special spiritual gift that only a select few possess. Witnessing is the divine calling of each Christian. For God, what matters isn’t so much what you have, but rather, what you do with what you have.'

'As we witness for Jesus, it is crucial to remember that we are cooperating with the Holy Spirit. He is there before us, preparing hearts to receive the message of the gospel.'

'When we pray for others, we become a channel of God’s blessing to them. He pours out the river of the water of life from heaven’s throne through us to them. Satan’s whole host trembles at the sound of earnest intercession.'

'By watching the way Jesus worked with people, we learn how to lead others to a knowledge of salvation through Jesus Christ. He saw each one through the eyes of divine compassion.'

'Why is knowing Christ personally so essential to our being able to witness about Him?'
