Easter Door to Door Evangelism

For the Easter service, I made up some invitations to pass out throughout the neighborhood. On the front it had some church information, and on the back explained the gospel. Pastor Kevin and I walked around the neighborhood to about 50 houses and gave them out. You should have seen the people's faces light up. Many people didn't even know the church was in the community. A few even responded that they haven't been to church in a while and will try to come tomorrow morning. Others said they already had a church but it was good to see us out doing this work. Praise God that many gospel seeds were planted and pray that He blesses our faithfulness with more laborers and fruit of repentance. The shyest of people could have shared the gospel the way we did tonight. God bless you all. See you in the morning!!!

If you were curious, here is the message on the back of the invitations:

Nearly 2000 years ago, the world was changed forever by the death and resurrection of a man that is celebrated every year at this time. Many celebrate Easter without much consideration of what this even has to do with their own lives. Traditions and rituals have been mixed in with the Christian message of Easter to confuse the understanding of it for much of our culture.

Jesus Christ said the two greatest commandments were to love God with all your heart, mind, soul, and strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself. Have you always put God first in all your affections? Is the supreme Creator of the universe, who gave you life and health, family and friends, and a country where you are free to express yourself, the One who has complete authority in your life? The Bible says we are appointed once to die, and then there will be a judgment. On that judgment day, will your conscience be clear; if the video reel of your life (including every secret thought that you wouldn’t want your mom to know about) were played for all to see, would God find you innocent or guilty of violating His commands (lying, stealing, dishonoring your parents, lust, hatred, giving God His rightful worship). God, who is perfect and righteous, will send all who have broken His law to a place of eternal punishment called Hell.

But the great news of Easter is that God, who expects perfection and will by no means clear the guilty, is loving and merciful, and to demonstrate His love He sent His Son Jesus to earth to live a perfect life and to die on the cross in your place. Instead of you receiving your just punishment, He took the punishment for you. After He died and was buried, He rose from the grave proving He was God and has power over death. All who turn from their sinful lifestyles and trust Him with their lives will inherit eternal life in heaven. Please join us this Sunday to celebrate the glorious salvation offered to us by the One we have offended. If you cannot join us, we encourage you to pick up a Bible and read it every day, find a group of believers to have fellowship with, and pray to God to grow you in His truth.

Happy Easter, God bless you,

Adam
