Example of Your
Story:
Since I have Christ in my live and
have come into a relationship with
God, He has changed me, made me
His child, and given me eternal life.
Keep Your Story Very Short and
easy for people to relate to
Or Your Story Might Be :

My Life Before Christ
Was Held Hostage by
Addictions

But Now I Am Free from my past! You
can be also! Let me tell you how.
Your Story
The Gospel
Example of a Story
Bridge:
According to the Bible, God has made you
His child too. (Acts 17: 28-29) Your
problem is that until you come into
relationship with Him, you are lost! But I
can show you how to be saved!
“As some of your poets have
said, ‘We are His offspring.’ And
since this is true…” Acts17:28-29-
It is very important that you
only use ONE bridge.
Practice it often – Be able
to use it under all
circumstances
Authentic Faith
Authentic Faith focuses on a
correct understanding of faith.
True faith is confidence that God is who He
says He is --- and confidence that He will do
everything He has promised to do.
Principle: God can be
trusted. He will do all He
has promised to do.
Proverbs 3:5-6.
Trust in the Lord with all
your heart and lean not on
your own understanding,
In all your ways acknowledge
Him, and He will make your
paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6.
Spiritual Disciplines
Spiritual Disciplines focuses on
the devotional life.
True transformation comes
from a renewed mind.
When you see as God sees,
you will do as God says.
A Disciple of Christ
practices a consistent
devotional and prayer life.
Romans 12:2.
Do not conform any
longer to the pattern of
this world, but be
transformed by the
renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:2.
Moral Boundaries
Clear moral limits must be
established and practiced
Protect our bodies and emotions by
honoring God’s plan for morality
Purity paves the way to intimacy.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
It is God’s will that you be sanctified; that
you should avoid sexual immorality;
Each of you should learn to control his own body in a
way that is holy and honorable, not in passionate lust
like the heather, who do not know God; and that in
this matter no one should wrong his brother or sister
or take advantage of them.
The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we
have already told you and warned you. For God did
not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not
reject man but God, who gives you His Holy Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Healthy Friendships
Friends will have a
direct impact on the
decisions made and
standards chosen.

Proverbs 13:20

But a companion of fools

Proverbs 13:20
Wise Choices
What is the wise thing
to do in any situation?
Good decision making is
more than simply choosing
between right and wrong.
In light of past experiences and my
future dreams, what is the wise
thing to do?
Ephesians 5:15-17
Ultimate Authority
Authority and Freedom are
not opposing concepts!
True freedom comes from God’s
ultimate authority and respect for earthly
authorities He has placed over us.
Maximum freedom is found
under God’s authority
Romans 13: 1-2
Others First
Selfishness comes
naturally.
Others First focuses
on the true nature of
humility and service.
Selflessness must be
learned.
Consider others over self.
Philippians 2:3-11
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in
humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you
should look not only to your own interests, but also to the
interests of others.
Your attitude should be the same as
that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him
the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus

Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
