The Power of an Invitation

When people met Jesus and realized that he was the Messiah, their lives were forever changed. The title “Messiah” literally means the “anointed one” or the “chosen one” sent by God to bring liberation. The title “Christ” also means the same.

The good news is that it is still the same today as it was 2000 years ago. When people today come to realize that Jesus is indeed the Messiah who sets them free from the penalty of sin, death and evil, their faith in him enables them to begin a new life with Christ - having received his forgiveness and the power of a new birth.

God’s mission is still in effect and followers of Jesus are still the ones to bring hope to our world. This week we will take a very hands-on and practical approach to applying the message. In Acts 1:8, Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses….” While we’re not all called to be evangelists, every Christian is called to share the Good News of Jesus.
