CRINGE CHRISTIANS - Week 3 | Coastal Church

we hear? He's called by? Jesus. Okay. Do you know that everyone that the Holy Spirit invites you to speak to and give the gospel has already been called by? Jesus. You're not cold calling for Jesus. This isn't a spiel, you know, earn full time pay with part time work. Right? You know, this is not a multilevel marketing scheme. This is the savior who can deliver you out of spiritual death, out of hopelessness. [01:05:09] (32 seconds)  #CalledByJesus

No. He says, come and see for yourself. In other words, instead of me twisting your arm to come to Jesus, why don't we just walk with him together and you can see for yourself? And then in John this Philip's been a believer for twenty four hours when this happened. Point number three, trust God to complete the work. You do not save people. You do not save people. You invite people to Jesus. Jesus saves. You invite. [01:08:16] (46 seconds)  #YouInviteJesusSaves

Come to him today. Would you be willing to come forward so we can invite you and introduce you to Jesus? You may not have had everything perfectly explained to you. In fact, I haven't even done a perfect job today. But God of the universe will perfectly invite you into his family. Don't delay. If God's calling, come and see what God can do. Come and see that Jesus can heal you from addiction. Come and see that Jesus can revive you from from sinful patterns. [01:11:18] (34 seconds)  #ComeForwardToJesus

I've got a part of my my YouVersion bible app, the prayer section, and I put people's names in there that we're praying over. I've put some of your children in that list. I've put some of your husbands and wives in that list that need Jesus. But are they on your list? Are you praying as though if they don't meet Jesus, they could be separated from him for eternity? Let's lift them up. Either come forward and we pray with you, or you can lift them up from your seat. Let's sing. [01:13:34] (52 seconds)  #PrayForTheirSalvation

I wonder sometimes when we don't say the right thing, when we're not sensitive to the person we're speaking to, if we make them prejudice against Jesus unintentionally. So what is now it's okay to misstep when you're talking about Jesus. Just don't mess up this one. What is Philip's response? He doesn't go, you know what? We can't be friends anymore if you don't believe in Jesus. You know what? I'm block, unfriend, unfollow. [01:07:45] (31 seconds)  #LoveDontUnfriend

Jesus is the one who drew them to himself in the first place. Jesus is the one who's empowering you to speak and invite them. And Jesus is the one who's gonna undo all the crap that you did and bring them to himself in spite of you. In John chapter one verse 47, it says, when Jesus saw Nathaniel approaching, he said to him, here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit. How do you know me? Nathaniel asked.

And so you you don't have to be worried about it because Jesus has already called them before you ever had the idea, before the Holy Spirit ever put it on your heart, talk to this person. So we see it continues in after Jesus calls them Philip. We we continue this story in verse 45. Philip went to look for Nathaniel. Now this is his buddy. Well, you can look in the context. And he told him, we have found the very person Moses and the prophets wrote about. [01:05:41] (32 seconds)  #CalledBeforeYou

Right now, even in the midst of this prayer, maybe you need to set an alarm on your on your phone. Maybe you need to add them to your prayer rep. Maybe you need to write their numb their name down, reach out to them for coffee, whatever. Lord, I pray you'd send your holy spirit to be preparing these people already. I pray you'd prepare both the listener as well as the speaker. In Jesus' name, amen. [01:15:27] (25 seconds)  #PrayAndReachOut
