Don’t Say “No” For Them

Well NewSpring Church, here we are...the week of our Easter services.  The ANTICIPATION level around all of our campuses is at an all time high and the buzz in regards to bringing someone to an Easter service is more exciting than it has ever been.  

I wanted to share two things in regards to bringing someone with you to a service...

#1 - If you have someone on your mind, a person that you cannot stop thinking about ANYTIME someone mentions inviting someone to church--then that is God speaking to your heart!  (The devil is NOT leading you to share Christ with them and/or invite them to church!)  If God is calling you to it then He WILL LEAD YOU THROUGH IT!

Which leads to...

#2 - DO NOT SAY "NO" FOR THEM!  All too often when I really did feel the Lord pressing into me to invite someone to church, whether it was a server in a restaurant or someone I have had a relationship with, I say "no" for them in my mind.  Seriously, I battle thoughts like...

• "They would not be interested in coming to church." 
• "They will think I'm crazy if I talk to them about this."  
• "Maybe I will just pray that someone else will invite them."  

However, what I've discovered is that SOOOOOOOO many people are just one more invite away from attending a service.  

We all know that FOUND PEOPLE FIND PEOPLE!  With that in mind...let's not say "no" for people when God is saying "yes" in regards to us inviting them to a service!!!  

This Easter the Gospel is going to be presented clearly AND creatively...and I believe HUNDREDS of lives are going to be changed!!!

(For a GREAT passage of Scripture to help us get our minds around this mandate to reach the world check out II Corinthians 5:11-21...AND, there is still time to register for a free trip to Israel next year along with seeing some videos that we recorded over there that have just been released this week--go here to check it out!)
