Pastor Liebenow made a poor statement at St. John’s this Sunday. He said the goal of our outreach is not to invite people to church. For clarification, the goal is to make disciples of Jesus. Church attendance is a part of being a disciple, but it is not the only part and not necessarily the starting point. As we talked about in the sermon, the purpose of church attendance is giving all honor and glory, but many believe the purpose of church is feeling good, which can be done in many other ways. For that reason, it can be more helpful as a starting point to invite people to study the Scriptures with you or to have a spiritual conversation. It can also be more valuable to ask people if they have a pastor rather than if they have a church, as most people have no one who cares for them spiritually.
