    Contributed by John Dobbs on Apr 25, 2025

    One of the greatest gifts God gives us is

    We like to be invited to things. It makes us feel good to be on the guest list. It tells you the person cares and wants you to be a part of what they're doing. Jesus gave an invitation in Matt. 11:28-30. Let's take a look at this invitation and see what we can learn.

    What was it that transformed a semi-defeated Bible study group meeting in an upper room in Jerusalem into this highly energized, Holy Spirit empowered, life-giving local church? The inundation of 3000 new converts on Pentecost Day.
