I ripped off that phrase-be a bringer– from my friend @KevinGerald. He uses it to remind his church of their responsibility to be witnesses for Christ. Not only should we invite people who are far from God to come to church-we should bring them with us. We should do whatever we can to compel them. Because there is a great chance their life will be changed in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Of course, as our Christmas worship experiences approach at Elevation, we’re putting a lot of effort into motivating our people to be bringers. If you’re planning on worshipping with us this Christmas, I hope you’ve got tickets already, not only for your family, but for someone in your life who needs to find hope in Christ.
You can still get tickets to most worship experiences at codeorangechristmas.com
They’re free, and they’re simply a tool for us to guarantee we have a spot for everyone who makes the effort to come.
There are 30 different worship experience times to choose from in the Charlotte area, and many more at Elevation Extension locations around the world.
You can see a list of those locations here.
We’re going all out to present the Gospel this Christmas. The opportunity is great. The need is urgent. And although public worship gatherings aren’t the only way someone can come to Christ, we’ve seen thousands respond to Jesus in this environment. We believe God moves in a special way when His Church comes together. Not just in our church, but anywhere the Gospel is preached.
The other day, I was standing in a particular place that made me think about how much difference one invite could make. I decided to pull out my phone and record a video on the spot.
Believers all over the world, let’s be bringers this Christmas season.
You never know the impact your invitation could initiate.
