What Do We Share?  To share our faith, we need

1.  Experience.  In order to tell your story

before – be honest
during – be detailed
after – be realistic

2.  Explanation.  Supposing you had just ten seconds to explain the gospel  What would you say?

Look at Acts 17:22-31.  Identify six things that Paul says about the gospel.

3.  Evidence.  It may be helpful to think about possible answers to questions which often crop up:-

How can believe in God?
Who is Jesus?
Did he rise from the grave?
Wasn’t he just a good man?
Do all roads lead to God?
Why do people suffer?
Can we trust the Bible?
Won’t a good life do?
