Questions

Why do you think Jesus became angry with his disciples in this passage?

What are some ways we might unintentionally become barriers to others seeking Jesus?

Why do you think only 2% of Christians invite others to church?

What fears or hesitations do you have about inviting others to church?

How can we become more intentional about being bridges rather than barriers?

What's the difference between being a 'gatekeeper' and a 'bridge builder' in the church?

How does the concept of childlike faith relate to sharing our faith with others?

What practical steps can you take this week to be more welcoming to others?
Life Application

Take one invitation card this week and commit to praying about who God wants you to invite to Easter service. Look for natural opportunities to extend that invitation and step out in 'reckless obedience' to be a bridge rather than a barrier.

Key Takeaways

Jesus gets angry when his followers become barriers instead of bridges

Most non-Christians (82%) would attend church if invited by a trusted friend

We don't need perfect knowledge to share our faith - just obedience

The resurrection should catalyze us to invite others to Jesus

Each person can reach one other person for Christ
