When Jonah finally walked into Nineveh, he did not deliver a masterpiece. His entire sermon was eight words long: “Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!” That’s it. No music. No slideshow. And the whole city turned to God.

The apostle Paul did something similar. When he came to the city of Corinth, he told them that he wasn’t a spectacular speaker. He just told them about Jesus.

Why does that matter for you? Because a lot of people think they could never tell a friend about God. Have you ever felt that way? Maybe you think you’re not funny enough, or smart enough, or you’d get all the words wrong. Maybe you’re worried your friend will ask a hard question and you won’t know the answer. Guess what? The power was never in the way you present it. The power is in Jesus.

Sometimes, a simple sentence can do more than you’d ever imagine. “I prayed for you last night.” “Our church has a game night on Wednesday if you want to come.” “Honestly, God helped me when my grandpa was sick.” That’s not fancy. That’s just true. And true is powerful. When it comes to telling others about God, little is much when God is in it.

Take Action: Think of one friend who doesn’t know much about Jesus. Prepare one simple, honest sentence you could say to them. Not a speech, just a sentence about something God has done for you. Practice it once in your head. Then watch for a natural moment this week to say it. If the moment doesn’t come, keep it ready.
