Sermon invite them John 1:45-51

Two invitations in my life: Parents & Robin Reed

Scripture today: Philip invites Nathaniel to meet Jesus

Reasons churches don’t invite:

We don’t like your kind

We only care about ourselves

Reasons churches do invite

We ought to be doing that

We want to straighten you out

We need help to pay the bills

We want to help connect you to Jesus Christ

Philip invites with enthusiasm

Nathaniel finds the giver of life

Old building……everyone was met greeted

Hospital…..huge thorough effort

New building…..some well, sometimes not so well

Dreams of the future

Every small group committed to invite, grow & split

Greeters at every door

Information booth

Excellent print literature

Mugs within 36 hours

Walkie talkie guys

Umbrella people

Oodles of wanderers

Pray with me, dream with me

God won’t give me all the dreams

Lets fulfill our mission by inviting people to Christ
