At Impact Church, we know the Lord is calling us to have an “Invite Culture.” But what exactly does that mean?
- That we invite people to church all the time?
- That we invite people to lunch after church?
- That we invite people to sit with us
- That we invite people to our Lifegroup?
- That we invite people to serve alongside us in a ministry?
- That we include them at Christmastime and Easter?
All of the above.
All of the above and then some. A culture is never just one thing. It takes a lot of variables to develop a culture and even more to make that culture unique. If we want to have an invite culture at Impact then inviting others to join us in everything we do needs to become second nature.
With this in mind, let’s start with baby steps. THIS Sunday the gospel will go out at Impact Church and we want to invite as many lost people as possible to be there to hear it. So, how does one get started on this mission of inviting?
Simple, “Find Someone.”
Love needs a target. Cupid would be out of business if he had no one to shoot those love arrows at, right? And churches would die is they weren’t kept vibrant and growing by new believers. So, in our quest to have everyone bring one person this Sunday—that’s the first step.
Simply find someone.
Ask God to bring someone into your life (or, more likely, to bring someone to mind that is already in your life) who desperately needs Jesus. This should be easy, because everyone desperately needs Jesus! But I want you to challenge you to pray about connecting with someone who is keenly aware of that need right now—someone who can’t help but look up because they have hit the bottom and there’s no where else to look for answers.
Today…just find them.
Tomorrow I’ll give you your next step!
