The Power of Story

The Power of Story: Comments on Acts 22:22

Paul bursts into this story of his life seemingly out of no where. He starts to explain to the people in his hometown the amazing story that God has been authoring through his life. Their reaction was not a welcoming one but rather one of great resistance.

The story that God was writing through Paul's life was one that was shaking history. A story that was confronting culture, convicting people of their prejudice and one that was calling people to be courageous and stand against the gravity of the cultural norms, in doing that he placed himself in grave danger. When we stand against the wave of culture (especially religious culture) and share our unconventional story that God is writing through our life we place ourselves in the crosshairs of the enemy and at the mercy of our listeners.

Paul set us an example of how to walk through misunderstanding, others unbelief, opposition and persecution. Share your story, share your story, share your story! Let others hear the context of your life and how you ended up where you are now!!
