A testimony is about faith, trust, action, and obedience! We have a testimony because we have a story to share! We have a testimony because of what we have experienced and are experiencing

A testimony is about faith, trust, action, and obedience! We have a testimony because we are facing an obstacle or a situation…something that is happening (or has happened) to us…sometimes we have a testimony because we want to accomplish for the kingdom of God. Sometimes we have a testimony because we have a story to share!

Today, we are taking a few minutes to remember what we have learned! This passage in Deuteronomy is about remembering…it is about pausing to remind ourselves what we have learned…to make sure that we have learned it…and so that we can pass it on to the next generation! Many people think that if they learn more…they will be better followers of Jesus! I agree that learning is helpful, but sometimes what we need…is not to learn something new…we need to remember what we have already learned!

God will use you in ways you may not expect. You may say, what do I have to offer? You have something…but you don’t have enough on your own. That’s why you need other people in your life. It’s a whole lot easier to serve God and do ministry when you’re on a team. The Bible reminds us that we are in ministry together, serving together, and making a difference! Listen to 1 Corinthians 3:8 “The one who plants and the one who waters have one purpose, and they will each be rewarded according to their own labor.”

Now, you may not realize it, but you belong to the people seated next to and around you! You are part of the family of God, they belong to you and you belong to them. Here’s the problem: It’s easy to get disconnected in relationships. Would you agree with that? It’s very easy to get disconnected from your children, from your parents, from your brothers and sisters, your friends, your family, your husband and wife. It’s easy to get disconnected from your church and small group.
