The Big Ask: Week One

Pastor Nate begins "The Big Ask" series, by reading from John 1 in which Jesus begins gathering followers. At first no one believed in Him, however, once one person's life was changed and they shared the news with someone else, others began having their own testimonies about what Jesus had done for them. Jesus didn't truly receive a lot of followers until after His death. The important thing to remember when inviting someone to church is not to coerce or persuade them but to genuinely share with them how important a decision in your life it was. God gave us the free will whether or not we want to follow Him, but the trick is He encourages others to have faith and share to grow themselves.
