Why Your Story Matters

Why does your story matter, and what does the Bible mean when it talks about having a “good testimony”? In this message from Hebrews 11:2, Trevor Hersey explores the power of a Christian testimony and why the story of what Jesus has done in your life may be exactly what someone else needs to hear. Your testimony is more than the story of who you used to be. It is the goodness of God woven through who you were before Christ, who you are in Christ, the ways Jesus has shown Himself faithful, and who you are becoming as you continue walking with Him.

Through Hebrews 11, Acts 1:8, Revelation 12:11, Romans 2:4, and Proverbs 13:12, this sermon looks at how sharing your faith can help someone see a different path forward. Trevor also gives practical guidance for how to share your testimony without glorifying your past, overcomplicating the story, or pretending you have everything figured out. Keep Jesus the hero, keep it honest, keep it simple, and leave enough room for someone listening to wonder, “Could Jesus do something like that in my life too?” Your story matters because the goodness of God in your life can become hope and faith for someone else.
