On Inviting People to Church (3 minute audio).

I’ve been encouraging people to extend an invitation to friends/family/neighbors/coworkers to come to church this Easter.  It’s scary, but it can be done!

What barriers tend to keep normal people away from Church?  The reasons are many, though they can often be boiled down to:

1) their fear that God’s judgement will strike them as a lightning bolt in the pew.

2) their irritation with judgemental, holier-than-thou Christians.

Thankfully, both of these ideas don’t stand a chance against the Gospel…

Take a listen:
