People will never know how good you feel in your walk with Jesus if you do not share with them. Those that have been called out of darkness into spiritual light should make it their responsibility to guide their neighbors into the same light. It makes no sense keeping the word to yourself yet some people labored for you to get the word. Let us see how proper church outreach can lead to growth.
Remember we also saved not by our works by the faith that we profess in Christ Jesus. We live at a time that people and churches are self centered, and they have drawn the line between themselves in the society. It is in the mission of Christ that he preached to every person and made an impact in his or her life.
There are many churches in this day and age that has transformed the lives of people because of preaching the word in open air areas or holding conventions. The internet is also expanding to areas that missionaries could not reach in the olden days. Now with a click of a button a person can reach sermons or stream live services from the comfort of their home.
A Christian establishment that desires to grow and reach different parts of their locality has no excuse because there are many avenues that they can use. If you are a pastor, you can train your members of the new ways to do outreach. You first need to look at the social gatherings that people like and use the same activities to organize a church function.
A church that wants to grow must invest their resources into preaching the word of God. Preaching does not mean that it is done in the confines of the churches only, but it means that you get out of the world and reach out to the lost souls. Life after you have given your life to Christ can be so satisfying to the extent that you only feel that you are the only person entitled to salvation.
The work we were left with on earth before the second coming of Christ was to preach the gospel to all areas. It is the desire of our Father in heaven that more people give their lives and follow his ways. The society have decayed because the church has gone into prosperity gospel forgetting that their mission is to serve the interest of God.
It does not help to judge other people based on the faith we profess. Instead, we should labor to get to their level and tell them how they would benefit by coming to Christ. Others might have known the word previously, but the pressures of the world had chocked them, and they might have resorted to their former lives.
In the ministry of outreach, a person needs to forget about their status and visit all places the rich and the poor and share with them the love of Christ. A church that has a plan to transform lives in their time must make a habit of going to the people with evangelism. If we remain in our comfort zone, there is no way we can change the lives of other people.
