You Are Invited
Sunday, January 14, 2023 – Pastor George Dupree

We feel included and welcomed when we’re invited to something. It’s especially powerful when the invite comes from a friend. When we invite a friend to something they will know that they are wanted and welcome.

Researchers have found that about 80% of Americans say they would be very likely to go to church if invited by someone they know.

Unfortunately, __98%

of American Christians don’t invite anyone to church.

Unfortunately, 70% of unchurched people say they have never been invited to church.

But this is the Good News - __80%

are very likely to come - so let’s invite them!

Here’s Your Invitation
Revelation 3:20 Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Open the door and let him in, He doesn’t care if your house is a wreck.
Matthew 11:28 Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light.”

Just like when we’re invited we feel wanted and welcome; when we welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives, we let the Lord know that He is wanted and welcome.

Come to Jesus and give your life to Him, not just the neat and clean parts; give Him everything.

Give Him you cares and concerns.
Give Him your doubts and fears.
Give Him your failures and weaknesses.
Give Him your broken heart.
Give Him your shattered dreams.
Give Him you sorrows and pain.

Stop trying to be good enough and enjoy Jesus.

Invite Jesus into your life.
