Sermon Illustrations

We need to understand that when we share our faith, we cannot get discouraged when others do not accept Christ, because there are those in this world that will NEVER accept Christ…

I recently read an account of a young Christian in the military who tells about sharing his faith with another serviceman!

He said… Our witnessing hour had concluded and I was passing through the rec room, on my way back to my barracks, and then I noticed him. It wasn’t hard to take notice, for his beer smeared cloth’s permeated the room.

As I was about to pass him by, the Holy Spirit gave me a nudge--stop and speak to him. I did. I introduced myself and asked him if he had heard about the Good news of Jesus Christ, and would he mind talking for a few minutes about spiritual things?

He said, yes HE HAD HEARD ABOUT JESUS, but could care less about what I had to say and that he was not interested in religion and told me to get lost.

I asked if he minded me sharing how Jesus had changed my life, and he said ok, so I shared my testimony and I again encouraged him to believe in Jesus. His reply surprised me… He said, “I could care less about your Jesus, get lost and don’t come back!”

The next day, I heard that base authorities found an Airman dead, sitting in a chair with a beer in his hand. When God says share your faith, do it. The Bible instructs us that we are NOT to wait because "behold, now is the day of Salvation" II Cor 6:2b
