Inviting Who We Know

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Jan 18, 2022

Perhaps some of us are feeling inadequate to do something for the kingdom. We can start by getting people to attend church. All it takes is to think of someone we know, and then to invite that individual to join us. It's that simple!

This morning I wish to address a question that many believers have, and that is “How do we get people to come to church?” First of all, it is important for us to realize something I once saw stated on a church sign.

Wolves Among The Flock

Contributed by Roger Griffith on Oct 18, 2000
