Invite_through_paying_attention_by_pastor_SeanDownload A church is a community of people that are passionate about Jesus. In fact a church is a movement stirred by Jesus to let the world know of who Jesus is and how good he is to the world. As a church, we carry the best news in the world. The news that Jesus comes to rescue people from bondage and that Jesus gives people freedom, hope, purpose, meaning and value. We invite people to something that is greater and better. We invite people to something we know will be beneficial to them because it has been beneficial to us. We invite people to be a part of something that matters the most. God’s kingdom matters more than anything in the world. When people are invited they feel valued, they feel a sense of belonging. The good news is that there’s a special house (Gods Kingdom) where everyone is invited to come and in this house there’s good things that we can’t keep to ourselves. In this sermon Pastor Sean speaks from Luke 14:14-24 about inviting the ignored who are inside or outside our circle. This is a group of people who we normally ignore. When we have things to do to forget or do not even think about inviting them. This could be because they do not have what we have, or because they are in a different life stage than us or because their experience is just different from us.

In this sermon Pastor Humphreys speaks from Matthew 9:9-13 about inviting the unreached outside our circle. This is a group of people we do not normally chill with or talk to and they are out of our circle. These people could be outside our circle because we think they sin more, or they behave in such a way that we do not want to associate ourselves with.

In this sermon Pastor Humphreys speaks from John 1:43-51 about inviting the unreached inside our circle. We need to be proactive with inviting people who are already in our circle. These are people we see regularly, talk to regularly or chat with regularly. However we know that they are yet to believe in Jesus or seem to be far from God. These could be family members, friends or colleagues.Jesus is for everybody including those who are close to us. Jesus is for everyone including those who know us well, know our mistakes.

As we enter a new year and a new decade, January presents an opportunity to refocus, restart and reset.  The relationship we have with Jesus is meant to grow. Jesus invites his friends to spend time with him. This relationship is not just for show, it is meant to be experienced. Our devotion to Jesus is our satisfaction and reward. Being with Jesus is more than following rituals, or doing Christian things. It means knowing that in Jesus, God invites us to have a relationship with him. Therefore it is important that we pay attention to how we experience our relationship with Jesus. We go far with finding satisfaction and reward in God by going deep with Him. This week Edith speaks from Psalm 119 about going deep with Jesus through spending time in scripture.
