10 reasons to invite people to follow Christ every week at church
2008 August 19
Craig Groeschel offers 10 Reasons to Invite People to Follow Christ Every Week At Church:
- Someone may be at church only once.
- The Holy Spirit may have been working on them for months or years.
- Even some churched people don’t understand the gospel.
- Many trust in the church for salvation instead of trusting Christ.
- Seeing others saved gives believers another reason to worship and motivation to witness.
- New Christians can “light a church on fire.”
- Angels in heaven get to party when one person meets Christ.
- Hell is a real place.
- You care deeply about people.
- Families, workplaces, neighborhoods, cities, and generations could be different when one person meets Christ.
Does St Pauls do this? I don’t really ever remember the incense call for conversions at the end of the service as in other churches I’ve visited – and I liked that – people weren’t pressured into doing something before they were good and ready on their self (spirit) motivation not some hype-bazaar.
Maybe I do remember it happening at St Pauls; but in an ‘off the cuff’ feeling “oh and if you wanted to then come have a chat” sort of way.
Anyway, good on you St Pauls.. I miss you guys. (Though St Marys isn’t too dissimilar now is it)
Oops I mean “intense call”… anyway thanks for adding me to you list Rich; I’ll do you the same :)
We don’t, and it’s intentional, for all the reasons you say…
