Can I Get a Witness?

Sep 6, 2026

What if sharing your faith didn't require having all the answers—but simply being willing to tell someone what Jesus has done in your life?

In this compelling message, Dr. Bill Shuler challenges every believer to embrace the calling to be a witness for Jesus Christ. Through the story of Andrew, Pastor Bill shows how one person's simple decision to bring someone to Jesus can have an eternal impact.

From the moment Andrew encountered Jesus, his first response was to find his brother Simon and tell him, "We have found the Messiah." Dr. Bill emphasizes that witnessing isn't reserved for pastors, evangelists, or people with extraordinary personalities. Every follower of Jesus can be a witness by sharing their story, recognizing divine appointments, praying for people, and simply introducing others to Christ.

Pastor Bill also examines five universal needs that cannot ultimately be satisfied by material prosperity, social improvement, or human achievement: the emptiness of the human heart, deep loneliness, guilt and shame, and the fear of death. The Gospel provides the answer to each of these needs through the love, sacrifice, and salvation found in Jesus.

You'll also receive practical tools for becoming a more intentional witness—including writing a three-minute testimony and keeping a prayer journal to track the people and opportunities God places in your life.

If you've ever wondered how to share your faith, how to talk to someone about Jesus, or how to become more confident in evangelism, this message will give you practical biblical direction and encouragement to take the next step.
