Dewayne Rembert, church planting strategist for Montgomery Baptist Association and lead pastor of Flatline Church at Chisholm, knows the exact moment he first heard the gospel — Feb. 3, 2002, 11:17 a.m. He’s never been the same since.
That moment, along with the rest of his testimony, was shared as part of the ChristCentered theme of the Alabama Baptist State Convention on Nov. 16.
Describing dramatic experiences from his life before he met Jesus nearly 20 years ago, Rembert shared how he remains committed to telling others about Christ and encouraging them to do the same.
Rembert said he has taken Ephesians 6:19 to heart, to open his “mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel.”
“We’ve got to witness and disciple in the same area we live,” he said, noting the temptation is to engage in ministry in other places so the responsibility of discipling new converts from the effort falls on someone else.
“If you understand what was done for you, we should be compelled to go and share the good news,” Rembert said. “If we are going to be Christ-centered, then we need to love God and love our neighbor and be intentional in carrying His good news into all the world.”
TAB Media covered Rembert’s story as part of its new podcast, which launched earlier this year. “Season Two: The Flatline Story,” along with seasons 1 and 3, is available at tabonline.org/stories.
