Episode 347: How to Lead An Invitation
-
Before you ever preach: Spend significant time praying and asking what God wants his people to do.
-
The Response begins before the invitation time.
-
Ask people to start responding long before you actually give the invitation.
-
Don't be too quick - you can take your time
-
Many pastors through in a phrase or 2. Some end by saying that's all I have
-
Let the scripture and the lesson lead to the invitation
-
a review or summary from the text
-
Lead in naturally - don't stop and start
-
Make it personal
-
Be Clear: Give exact steps - tell your church how they should respond.
-
Be Direct - ask them to take a specific action
-
Invite them to the community
-
Give everyone some way to respond - not just a first-time decision to follow Jesus.
Take away their fears or concerns.
-
No one here is judging you - Satan wants people to believe that everyone is judging them - this is a lie. So remind folks that everyone else is cheering them on.
Keep the invitation open after the service
Encourage prayerfulness in the church
