Your Story, His Glory
by Tree Church Everyday on March 6th, 2026
Many Samaritans believed in Jesus because of the woman's testimony: "He told me all that I ever did." Her story was simple but powerful—she encountered Jesus, and He changed her life. Eventually, those who believed wanted to hear from Jesus themselves, saying, "We have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is indeed the Savior of the world." This is the beautiful progression of evangelism: your story leads people to His story. You are not the good news; Jesus is. But your testimony of transformation opens the door. Practice articulating your story: "I was __________, but Jesus __________, and now I'm __________." Don't wait for perfection. Share the hope within you. Your boldness today might plant a seed that bears eternal fruit tomorrow. Time in God's presence increases your awareness of Him, which fuels your desire to share Him with others. The cycle continues, and the Kingdom advances—one story at a time. Read More

Encountering Jesus Changes Everything
by Tree Church Everyday on March 3rd, 2026
The Samaritan woman came to the well at noon—alone, avoiding the judgment of others because of her broken past. Yet Jesus chose her for a divine appointment. He saw past her shame and offered living water that would satisfy her deepest thirst. Notice that she didn't wait to get her life together before sharing Jesus with others. Immediately after her encounter, she ran to tell her town about the man who knew everything about her yet loved her anyway. Your story doesn't need to be perfect to be powerful. Jesus meets you in your brokenness and transforms your life. That transformation itself is your testimony. Who has Jesus made you that you weren't before? Your encounter with Christ is the foundation for sharing Him with others. Read More
