The King Kong Easter challenge

image

I’m gonna (try to) keep this short and sweet.

Easter is a mere eight days away. Can you believe it? Eight days.

Here’s your challenge. Ready?

Take someone to church with you on Easter who doesn’t go to church.

If you don’t know someone who doesn’t go to a church or your church, you’ve got bigger problems.

I know. You already had plans to dress your family up in pastel colors and have a nice family lunch after church.

Scrap those plans.

First, pray. Then pray some more. And don’t forget to pray. Ok…

One person.

Friend.
Family member.
Colleague.
Co-worker.
Or better yet. A total stranger.

Christians are different. This Jesus we follow was a rebel. He turned our world on its ear. We’ve done a crappy job showing people who He is.

Break the mold society has poured us into.

No. Don’t break it. Shatter it. Obliterate it. Smash it like you’re King Kong.

Offer to give them a ride to your Easter gathering.
Offer to take them out to lunch after your Easter gathering.
Offer to do your best to answer their questions.

And don’t forget to offer to take them to church again the following Sunday.

Post up your play by play in the comments.
How many say, “no.”
How many say, “yes.”
How many say, “yes,” after you up the offer to a steak and potato meal (your treat).

You can do this. Be King Kong.

Let’s go.

Hey Shawn,
Can you give me an idea about how the theme Gravity will tie into the Easter service/sermon outline. I've had several ask me at the welcome center so they can invite people. I didn't really know. Thanks!
Lisa

Lisa, that's the catch! They'll have to be here on Easter to find out how it ties in. :)
