2. Worship proclaims Jesus in understandable ways

1 Corinthians 14:20-25

Key Question: Is evangelism the purpose of a worship gathering?

Goals: Open; Understandable; Convicting

How?

-Invite Others & Practice Hospitality

-Set Aside Selfishness/Preferences

-Worship Wholeheartedly & Pray for Transformation

Response

-Are you experiencing conviction of sin and searching for hope and forgiveness?

-Are we willing as a church to be mature and unselfish in order to make the Good News of Jesus as open and understandable to people as possible?
