How to Invite People to Easter

Did you know that most unchurched people would go to a church service if someone they knew invited them? Research shows a majority of people would! What if God has placed specific individuals in your life — in your neighborhood, workplace, gym, or coffee shop — so that YOU could help them encounter Jesus?

Invitation is at the heart of our core practice, "Live with Jesus on mission." Here's the best part of this practice: it's not you initiating, it's you joining Jesus in his mission. He's already at work.  Easter is one of the most powerful opportunities we have to share the Good News, and I want to offer you four steps you can consider to exercise the “Share Your Faith” habit in this season:

Things happen when we pray, and we also become more aware of the people around us. You might be surprised at how God is moving. Pick up a prayer card in our lobby if you haven't already.

When we pray, it's like a spiritual tilling of the soil. The Lord will prepare an opportunity for you invite them. Give them a physical invitation and let them know you'd love to have them join you on Easter Sunday, and you'll save them a seat. Keep it relational and warm! Grab invite cards in the lobby.

Social media is a place we can share what’s important in our lives, and we can see this tool as a way of helping people learn more about Jesus. I want to encourage you to take a step of faith and post about Easter at Expressions. It might spark a conversation with a person who would be interested in coming.
