One of the responsibilities that Jesus left to his disciples is to go into the world and make new followers. The church doctrine requires that people go out and minister the gospel to others. It is, for this reason, that churches have a ministry that is responsible for reaching out to people who do not know the faith. What is church outreach and its impact to a society?
It is a negative trend, and Christians need to change because how will we be able to fulfill the great commission if we live such life. Churches can also tap the potential of the internet and preach the gospel to a wider reach of people. In the olden days, Christ would teach in the open air where he met people, and he was able to preach without any problem.
With the internet, we can reach millions to even to areas that would traditionally become inaccessible. We also need to realize that there are areas that are still hostile to the word of God and the only way is through live streaming and also putting our sermons on blog posts.
A Christian establishment that desires to grow and reach different parts of their locality has no excuse because there are many avenues that they can use. If you are a pastor, you can train your members of the new ways to do outreach. You first need to look at the social gatherings that people like and use the same activities to organize a church function.
A church that wants to grow must invest their resources into preaching the word of God. Preaching does not mean that it is done in the confines of the churches only, but it means that you get out of the world and reach out to the lost souls. Life after you have given your life to Christ can be so satisfying to the extent that you only feel that you are the only person entitled to salvation.
The work we were left with on earth before the second coming of Christ was to preach the gospel to all areas. It is the desire of our Father in heaven that more people give their lives and follow his ways. The society have decayed because the church has gone into prosperity gospel forgetting that their mission is to serve the interest of God.
Jesus says in the bible that he is the truth, way and life and that if any person wishes to go to the father it must be through him. That means that pastors should begin to preach the true gospel of the father, son and holy spirit. Some pastors are in the habit of preaching money and other life issues forgetting that they are called into the ministry as servants of God.
The Bible teaches that those that will emulate the example of Jesus will get bigger crowns when the time of inheriting the kingdom. We have the potential to succeed in outreach ministry because we have the holy spirit that guides us each day. Some individuals in the Christian faith think it is the work of the pastors and the ministers to preach. But little did they know that the walk to heaven is a shared responsibility and outreach are the best way we can reach everyone near us.
