Today is the fourth Sunday in a series on sharing Jesus with others.  As we begin this morning, I’d like you to write on the card we’ve provided the name of a person you know who is not yet a follower of Jesus.  At some point during this message, I want you to write the name of one person who is not yet a follower of Jesus.Read More »Storytelling: How the Story of the Trumpet Shapes the Way We Share Jesus (1 Pet. 2:11-12) Chris Altrock – August 28, 2011

Storytelling: How the Stories of the Clouds and the Fire Shape the Way We Share Jesus (Acts 1-2)

In his book Megan’s Secrets Mike Cope writes stories of his mentally disabled daughter named Megan.  Early in the book he tells this story which involves Megan and Mike’s wife Diane:[1] I head a sound from the other room: splash, splash, splash.  I walked into the bathroom to find Megan lapping up water from the toilet.  Her ladle was Diane’s toothbrush.  I was too tired to worry about it; I guess I thought, “What you don’t know can’t hurt you” (plus the toilet had just been cleaned), so I slung the water off the toothbrush and put it back in the toothbrush holder.  That evening, I walked into the bathroom to see Diane brushing her teeth.  The laughter I’d been fighting back now came out like a locomotive.  She looked at me strangely and asked, “What’s so funny?”  I choked out the words, “Megan used your toothbrush in the toilet.”  That’s when she started laughing hysterically.  I said, “What’s so funny?”  Diane replied, “She usually uses yours.”Read More »Storytelling: How the Stories of the Clouds and the Fire Shape the Way We Share Jesus (Acts 1-2)
