Jesus had a simple yet passionate invitation:
"Come and you will see!"
(John 1.39)
Jesus invites Andrew.
Andrew invites Peter.
There wasn't much of a formula. Just a simple invite
punctuated with contagious enthusiasm:
"Follow Me!" (John 1.43)
Jesus invites Phillip.
Phillip invites Nathanael.
No hoops to jump through. No hidden rules or judgment or hypocrisy or church committees.
Just a whimsical, fun invite to spend time with Jesus.
An invitation toward a journey of life-change and explosive purpose in one's life.
This is why I'm excited about Life Church.
We believe that faith is a journey, not a guilt trip.
We invite and welcome everyone: religious folk, irreligious folk, Christ-followers, Nones.
My friend Norm remarked to me yesterday:
"What you guys are doing once a month at The Dow is a PARTY! It's FUN! Of COURSE people want to join in!"
I like that.
Jesus always threw the best parties.
I'm excited to be part of one this Sunday.
You should come check it out.
Come and you will see!
