I would love to invite you to visit (Church Name). We are a growing church family who loves God and each other. (Church Name), you will find a church family excited about God working through our church. Please consider joining me this Sunday for a lively and exciting church service.
(Church Name) is a solid Bible preaching, Bible-teaching ministry with a heavy emphasis on turning pages, applying the Scriptures to real life, and encouraging folks to understand the Word of God for themselves. We are unapologetically traditional in how we worship and praise our Saviour. Our church is an old-fashioned Bible-believing church. This does not mean we compromise excitement or the filling of the Holy Spirit during each service. We are excited about serving the Lord, and the preaching is passionate and pointed. Come see what I am talking about!
Thank you for considering a visit to our church, but even more important than if you ever visit, could I ask you a question? Have you ever received God’s Gift? He has a gift that He wants to give to everyone. But...
a gift must be received to be enjoyed
You need God’s Gift because you need a Savior. “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). “...there is NO man that sinneth not” (I Kings 8:46). “For the wages of sin is death (eternal separation from God)” (Romans 6:23).
Someday you must face a holy God in your sins—unless you find some way to remove them.
The Lord Jesus said, “Ye...shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come” (John 8:21).
If you try to earn or merit forgiveness and favor with God (which you can’t), you will never be sure you are saved, for how can you know that you are good enough and religious enough?
There is a better way! It is “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us...” (Titus 3:5).
God, in His grace and mercy, wants to give you His salvation by giving you His Son. “For God so loved the world, that HE GAVE his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16).
Paul wrote in II Corinthians 9:15, “Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.” When He was just a baby, God’s Gift was called His “Salvation.” (See Luke 2:30).
God’s Gift, born of the virgin Mary, lived a perfect life and gave His blood on the cross as wicked men nailed Him up to die.
But He rose from the grave, that He might be your Lord and Savior. He lives as “the man Christ Jesus” (I Timothy 2:5) in that same body of flesh and bones in which He was crucified and buried.
See Luke 24:34-43. Note our Lord’s own words, “flesh and bones.” He is the same person, who came forth from the virgin’s womb, and once lay in Joseph’s tomb! God says, “As many as received Him (the Lord Jesus) to them gave He power (the right or the authority) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His name” (John 1:12).
You MUST receive Him to have eternal life. “He that hath THE SON hath life” (I John 5:12).
It is possible to shun a gift—to reject it. If you refuse God’s Gift, you do so to your peril, for “...he that hath not the Son of God hath NOT life” (I John 5:12).
Receive Him today! In your own words, tell Him that you
know you are a lost, guilty sinner, that you receive Him as your Lord and Saviour, and that you trust Him to forgive your sins and give you eternal life.
What a tragedy it would be to refuse God’s Gift! What a privilege to receive Him by faith. So take Him NOW and then believe in and rejoice in His promise found in John 6:47: “...he that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”
