Each of us has a life message that God wants us to share with the world.

Sharing the message is part of our life’s mission.

When we share that message with other people, it’s called witnessing.

There is great power in group witness.

Just like a soldier is never sent out by himself, God doesn’t intend for any of us to do our mission alone.

He says we should go out together to witness.

In fact, God says that we witness best to people who don’t know God when we love others who are already in God’s family. 

In John 13, Jesus tells us that our love for each other proves to the world that we are his disciples.

People are impressed when Christians genuinely love each other. It proves to the world that they are in the family of God.

In 2 Timothy 1:7, we’re told how we are supposed to witness to people: “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline” (NIV).

Have you and those you lead become timid and fearful in your witness?

God’s answer to fear is community — having other Christians stand alongside one another in witness.

Philippians 1:27 says, “I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel” (NIV).

Do you witness with other Christians in one spirit — so unified that it’s almost like you’re one person?

This is the kind of relationship God wants us to have with fellow Christians.

We all need each other.

God wants us to witness for him, and wants us to do it together!
