Invest and Invite

Matthew 10:8 says, "Give as freely as you have received."  This powerful instruction was being given to the twelve Apostles as they were to go the lost sheep of Israel.  At the end of Matthew 9 we have the picture given of the harvest fields and the need for laborers.  As Jesus looks out over lost and broken humanity with his heart swelling for their needs he turned to his disciples and asked them to pray that the Lord would provide the messengers who would enter that harvest field with the good news of the gospel.  Then, in the first part of chapter ten the very ones he asked to pray he then sent.

He calls and sends us in the same manner today in order that we would also give as freely as we have received.  Over the next two and half weeks we are focusing all our attention in a massive effort to invite thousands of people to our Cocoa Campus and our new Pineda Campus on the weekend of August 14-15.  

Do you think there is anyone in your life that is ready to receive from God? 

      On this weekend we are creating a destination for all those in your family, neighborhood, team, and work who may be unsaved and unchurched.  The collective effort of word of mouth, radio, newspaper, Website, and print all focused like a laser pointing toward one great event will transform lives, our church, and impact our community. 

So let's continue to invest and invite and be the church.  One that wins souls, offers real help, and connects people to our church family.

     “He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit, and he prunes the branches that do bear fruit so they will produce even more.” John 15:2
