Reach Two
“The Invite”
Matthew 28:16-20, John 4

Where would you be if someone hadn’t reached out to you?

Reach
	Pray for
	Help in need
	Influence by actions & attitudes
	Spend time building relationships
	Invite someone

Matthew 28:16-20

The gravitational pull of any church over time is to focus on the insiders.
	Insiders = connected to Jesus
	Outsiders = disconnected from Jesus

“Living the Journey, Sharing the Story”

Find Hope

Our Church
	Insiders - people who have surrendered to Jesus
	Create environments that are open to everyone
	Invite outsiders to find hope in Jesus
	Outsiders become insiders - surrendered to Jesus

Reach Two Challenge
	Pick 2 names
	Pray for 6 months
	Look for the right time
	Begin to invite

Jesus doesn’t make a better version of me; He makes a new version of me.

Jesus is better experienced than explained.

John 4:5-42

We all crave for something to satisfy.
	Our cravings are satisfied when we find hope in Jesus

The best time to “reach” someone is…
	When life is not going well
	When they are not prepared for something
	When they are are unchurched or formerly churched

You get to participate in God’s plan for humanity.
	It’s not all on you
	The Holy Spirit is better than you
	You are God’s plan

When you find hope, you get to participate in God’s plan to help others find hope!
