We are living in a perilous time. Almost everyday people are being killed by the terrorist. The world has become more ungodly... And more uncertain... look at all the countries that's facing issues. We are living in a life of urgency.. We must rise up as a church to do what we must do today.
There are 4 key reasons why we are not approaching people :
(1) Fear is the biggest culprit
(2) Feelings of inadequacy
(3) Apathy - indifference, no burdens of souls in our hearts anymore
(4) Personal struggles - I'm not good enough, I have my own problems to face
You don't have to feel holy before you talk about the Holy One. It is not about me, I must point people to Jesus. I am here because of the grace of God. Christ came to redeem us, it is not about our own story, it is about Christ story.
Luke 14:16-23
