One strategy for helping friends, family, and neighbors to hear the gospel is to invite them to the church's gathering on Sunday. Of course, we should personally speak the gospel to others anywhere, anytime. Yet, when coupled with such speaking, an invitation to our Sunday service remains a powerful tool for evangelism.

How many times have you found yourself listening to a sermon and thinking, "Wow, I wish _________ could hear this.” (Insert the name of a coworker/friend/teammate/neighbor). You have the opportunity to take the initiative now by extending invitations ahead of a string of strong evangelistic sermons. Let’s take advantage of our Sunday sermons and leverage them in our gospel engagement.

Paul affirmed the benefits of unbelievers hearing gospel-rich sermons: “How are they to hear without someone preaching? … Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ “ (Rom 10:14, 17). The two most common ways people hear the gospel are from a conversation with a friend or family member and from a sermon. Let's use both when possible!

I am currently preaching through a section of Luke’s Gospel that is well-fitted for gospel-rich, evangelistic sermons. Additionally, the Easter season is a cultural time of the year when many are more open to invitations to church. To aid your invitations, we have printed invite cards you may like to utilize. These cards are available in the worship center. Take ten or twenty and use them to invite your friends. We'll print more!

Join me in praying that our worship center will be filled with those who are hungry to know and follow the Lord Jesus!

For His Glory,

Pastor Thomas
