To the Cross: A Journey to Easter - Tools for the Journey

Reaching: Don't invite Your Friends to Church - Part 2

5/31/26 John 1:35-51 Most people are not really interested in just being invited to church because they're not interested in just adopting our morality or our religion. We do a lot of things just based on instinct. We are taught to bring people to church with us, and that becomes our default response, but there's something deeper going on that we should be inviting people to. Instead of inviting people to your church: * Invite them to experience * "Come and see" * Invite them to explore * Spirituality. Reality. Self. * Invite them to engage * Invite them to be loved * By God. By the Church. By you. Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.

Reaching: Don't invite Your Friends to Church - Part 1

1 Corinthians 9:19-23 For some, when we invite people to church, they hear: "believe what we believe, give up the things we gave up, spend time with only the people we spend time with, and even vote the way we vote." That's not what most people want. And yes, we do want to invite people to church, but there's some groundwork we should think about laying before the invitation. So instead of just inviting people to church, we need to: * Learn to speak their language * Find our testimony * Invite them to their answer Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.
