This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for young people to come hear the Gospel in your church
God has answered so many prayers for the current church I’m going to. Last year around this time, the congregation was about to close its doors and attendance was down to the point that others said close it up.
But God heard the prayers of the believers there. It survive and is on a different trajectory.
There’s a lot of elderly there and we want to still minister to them. But others and I have notice that there’s not a lot of people in the 20s bracket. By God’s grace there are 30s and 40s rising.
I am trying to evangelize more with the church the neighborhood and local area. I am praying God also bring young people.
Pray for your church, that God also bring young people; not for attendance sake but for them to hear the Gospel and be saved.
Young people will come to church if you invite them and promise a cheeseburger after the service …. I’ve done it over a hundred tines
I have so many questions…McDonald’s CheeseBurgers?

Big thanks
Thanks for the good exhortation! Many churches have fallen into the trap of being self-satisfied with their congregation, like a tightly-knit family or social clique, and forget about reaching out with the Gospel to younger people. Before you know it, everyone is 65-85 years old. I’ve also seen the opposite extreme where the hipster megachurch focused exclusively on 20-35YOs and threw the oldsters to the curb.
Those two scenarios sadly happen too often! So sad! Indeed we must be loving God first and then from that love towards God, love all the generations in the church! How goes your Lord’s Day?
RE: Lord’s Day
Church service was a blessing as always. R&R the rest of the day.
How’s your Lord’s Day going?

TY!!!!
Brother, this is so important. We must bring the good news to the young. And the cheeseburger idea is great. I suggest grilling them out and not buying them.
Blessings.
Amen to grilling them! I love a good BBQ. I know you have a heart for youths and reach out to them!
Yes, Lord. Let it be so!
Amen!

For young people everywhere who are exposed daily to the complete opposite of Christ…in Jesus’ Name.
Amen to that sister
Amen: May they “hear the Gospel and be saved”.

Blessings Jim for sharing this encouraging message. Your church is a testament to the power of sharing faith and experiencing its growth.
God bless you brother!!!!
“Pray for your church, that God also bring young people; not for attendance sake but for them to hear the Gospel and be saved.”
Amen brother Jim! 😀✝️✝️✝️📖
No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day. (John 6:44, NASB)
And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.” Peter’s Confession of Faith (John 6:65, NASB)
18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.
19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
20 teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” (Matthew 28:18, NASB)
What we win them with, we win them to. They desperately need to hear THE GOSPEL of the Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly, that is not what many are hearing in various churches today.
It is also important to identify terms even basic ones like love for example. We must ask them what they understand by any given term; otherwise you can be having a single conversation in two far distant parts of the universe. 😜
Praise God for this post. I’m thankful for all the bloggers here whose hearts are after God, proclaiming the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ to a lost and dying world and making disciples of all ages.
Amen grateful He is sovereign in areas of salvation so we can pray prayers like these for people’s salvation!
This!
God’s message is the draw. God’s message is life and salvation!
Amen!!!
The young people today are so vulnerable to evil propaganda. They need to hear TRUTH. Getting them to church is a good first step! Blessings, Pastor Jim!
Amen! O how we need to pray!
Amen.
And amen!
We stand with you in prayer 🙏🏻- keep praying and God will open the doors. Thanks for sharing.
Wow than you for your prayers!
