#2 The Witness by Pastor Carlton Helgerson.

In this message, "#2 The Witness," Pastor Carlton Helgerson builds upon the foundational definition of a witness to explain the purpose for which God leaves believers on earth to represent Him. Key Highlights & Outline: The Primary Purpose of a Witness Before a witness goes or speaks, they must first know and believe God. A witness is not merely someone who performs tasks, but someone whose existence points directly to the reality of God. Knowing God Personally Drawing from Old and New Testament passages (including Isaiah 43:10 and John 17:3), Pastor Helgerson emphasizes that true Christian witnessing requires a personal, intimate acquaintance with God rather than a reliance on empty human traditions. Believing and Resting Upon Him To be an effective witness, the believer must rely completely on God’s worth, work, and word. True spiritual strength and confidence come from quiet trust rather than self-directed effort. The New Creation in Christ A witness is not simply a reformed person trying harder, but a completely new creation indwelt by the Holy Spirit. It is Christ living in the believer that makes the testimony distinct and supernatural. Living as a Visible Representative Whether individually in daily life or collectively as the local assembly, believers serve to draw the attention of the world to God, making His character and truth known to others. What is a "Witness" according to The Bible context. Here is a series / study on what is God's purpose of a witness as the Bible describes them. A new message in this series will be uploaded to our youtube channel each Sunday by about 10 am.
