Would you like to come to church with me?
The question opens a door to many possibilities. Hearing the message from the pastor could bring hope to someone who feels unloved and hopeless. God may use church to reveal His plan of salvation to someone who does not know Jesus is the Way. No matter how confident or assured someone may seem on the outside, every nonbeliever thirsts for God's love in their soul. Somehow you managed to find the spring of life.Now, it's time to lead others to it.
Lord, I pray You would open our mouths to invite nonbelievers to church. Give us courage to be bold. I pray they would accept the invitation to church and, ultimately, accept Christ as their Savior. Thank You that You are willing to use us as Your hands and feet.In Christ's Name, Amen.en
