Ephesus Baptist Church, Raleigh, NC

Pastor's Corner

I know . . . we've just packed Christmas decorations away and now we’re staring Easter—April 4—in the face! But, you know, there's no time to complain!

Instead, welcome Lent and Easter as amazing opportunities we have as Christians, as a church, to introduce non-Christians family, friends, and neighbors to Jesus Christ! 5.5 million people in this state do not know Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior!

That's why Ephesus is joining churches across North Carolina in FIND IT HERE. Find It Here asks that our church participate in 4 simple evangelistic activities leading up to and including Easter:

Praying for the salvation of non-Christian family, friends, and neighbors prior to Easter—includes a prayer walk in your neighborhood, or a neighborhood near our church campus on March 20.
Inviting non-Christian family, friends, and neighbors to Easter worship services. 84% of non-Christians will attend a worship service if invited by a friend or family member—includes distributing clear bags containing a Find It Here gospel drop-in piece and invitation to Easter services on March 27.
Preaching an evangelistic message and extending an evangelistic invitation in Easter services.
Following up with guests who attend Easter services by Sunday School classes and small groups.

The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field (Matthew 9:37-38).

Live it!
