Scriptures: Acts 1:8, 2:32, 5:32, 22:15, John 3:11

Does a Christ-follower have a choice about sharing their faith with others, or is this a core responsibility for every believer? With so few Christians sharing Christ with others in their own backyards, much less around the world, it's a valid question. A recent survey found just 11% of churchgoers believed that sharing their faith was a purpose of the church--shocking! In this message, Dr. Merritt explains the responsibility of every believer to share their faith story, and how God has specifically equipped us to do so.

"The truth is either we will be His witnesses or there will be no witness. I love to put it this way--Christ alone can save the world, but Christ will not save the world alone. He wants us to be His witnesses. He simply wants us to be about the business of sharing our story." --Dr. Merritt
