The Invitation Pt. 2

By Pastor Greg Ball, March 15, 2026

A research firm that interviewed thousands of churchgoers.

Over 80% of people who regularly attend church do so because at one point… they were invited!

Only 1 in 5 of US church attendees invite someone to church in the course of a year!

I want you to be the invitation!

Think about the fact that you could be the one that changes someone’s eternity!

People people!

God strategically puts people in our paths and in our lives who are waiting for an invite!

People are designed and created by their Heavenly Father to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ?

We are called to be Destiny Changers and Hope Dealers.

I believe this church is a place where people can experience the love and reality of Jesus with a relatively low risk of awkward moments, embarrassment or unnecessary repellents.

Acts 10:38

Acts 15:19 [NKJV]

Acts 15:19 [NLT]

Come as you are just don’t stay that way. Our heart at Destiny Church is to present Jesus to the lost.

John 1:19-42

1. We Become the Invitation!

2. We invite and Jesus provides the supernatural element!

Proximity to Jesus produces holiness

John 1:42
