5 Questions:

   1) Do they know you are a believer? Have you shared your testimony of being found?

   2) Have you shared the good news of the Gospel with them?

   3) Have you invited them to church?

   4) Have you joined God in what He is already doing in their lives?

   5) Are you imitating Jesus by getting to know sinners who are lost?

AS A CHURCH, WE NEED TO BE PURSUING THE LOST!

JUST AS GOD PURSUED US.
