Bringing Christ to the people

We don't need to bring people to Christ; we need to bring Christ to them." (Jonathan McKee)

To the weak I became as weak, that I might win the weak. I have become all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. 1 Corinthians 9:22

If you have the opportunity to befriend non-Christians, focus on the things that will draw them close, not the things that will drive them away.

Be available! - who's going to tell your unsaved friends about Jesus?"
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to His disciples, "Why does your Teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?"  Matthew 9:11
If we remove ourselves from those who need Jesus, we remove a lot of the opportunity they will have to meet Him. Count up your non-Christian friends. If you can do it on one hand, ask God for more.

When Jesus got baptized, he did with sinners, even though He had no sins to be wash away. Why? Because He wanted to identify with those He came to save. He came to seek and save the lost, so to the lost He went!
Take a Stand today!
 
SALVATION PLAN
"Young man … if I thought I could win one more soul for Christ by standing on my head and beating a tambourine with my feet, I would learn how to do it."

Invitation to Salvation / Convite para a Salvação / Invitación a la Salvación

              THE INVITATION TO SALVATION
              There is no more important question than the one asked by a Philippian jailer                    over two thousand years ago: "WHAT MUST I DO TO BE SAVED?" Acts 16:30
              Jesus answered that question once and for all by taking the punishment for our                  sins upon Himself. We simply have to accept the free gift of salvation He offers.
               
               How do we do that? Simply follow four easy steps for receiving Christ:
               1- Admit your need - I am a sinner
               2- Be willing to turn from your sins and repent.
               3 -Believe that Jesus Christ died for you on the cross and rose from the grave.
               4 - Pray a prayer like this:
Dear Heavenly Father,
I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus died for my sins and rose from the dead. I repent from my sins. I invite you to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus name, amen!

"Yet to all who received him, those who believed in his name. he gave the right to become children of God." John 1:12

CONVITE PARA A SALVAÇÃO
Não há questão mais importante do que a que foi solicitada por um carcereiro de Filipos mais de dois mil anos atrás: "O QUE  DEVO FAZER PARA SER SALVO?" Atos 16:30
Jesus respondeu a essa pergunta de uma vez por todas, tendo levado o castigo pelos nossos pecados sobre si mesmo. Nós simplesmente temos que aceitar o presente gratuito da salvação que Ele oferece.

Como podemos fazer isso? Simplesmente seguindo quatro simples passos para receber a Cristo:
1 - Admita sua necessidade - Eu sou um pecador
2 - Esteja disposto a se converter dos seus pecados e se arrepender.
3 - Creia que Jesus Cristo morreu por você na cruz e ressuscitou dos mortos.
4 - Faça uma oração assim: 
Querido Pai Celestial,
Eu sei que eu sou um pecador, e peço o seu perdão. Eu creio que Jesus morreu pelos meus pecados e ressuscitou dos mortos. Me arrependo dos meus pecados. Convido-o a entrar no meu coração e vida. Quero confiar e seguir-Te como meu Senhor e Salvador. Em nome de Jesus, amém!

"Mas, a todos quantos o receberam, aos que crêem no seu nome. deu-lhes o direito de se tornarem filhos de Deus." João 1:12


INVITACIÓN A LA SALVACIÓN
No hay pregunta más importante que la pregunta de un carcelero de Filipos más de dos mil años atrás: "¿Qué debo hacer para ser salvo?" Hechos 16:30
Jesús respondió a esta pregunta una vez por todas, tomando el castigo por nuestros pecados sobre sí mismo. Simplemente tenemos que aceptar el regalo de la salvación que Él ofrece.

¿Cómo lo hacemos? Sólo tienemos que seguir cuatro pasos sencillos para recibir a Cristo:
1 - Admita su necesidad - Yo soy un pecador
2 - Esté dispuesto a alejarse de sus pecados y arrepentirse.
3 - Creer que Jesucristo murió por ti en la cruz y resucitó de la tumba.
4 - Ora una oración como esta: 
Querido Padre Celestial,
Sé que soy un pecador, y yo pido su perdón. Yo creo que Jesús murió por mis pecados y resucitó de entre los muertos. Me arrepiento de mis pecados. Te invito a que entres en mi corazón y vida. Quiero confiar en ti y seguirte como mi Señor y Salvador. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén!

"Mas a cuantos lo recibieron, a los que creen en su nombre, les dio el derecho de ser hijos de Dios.Juan 1:12

Baptism in the water

Baptism is a public demonstration of a personal commitment you've made to be a follower of Jesus Christ. Baptism is a symbol of our choice to have a new life and the immersion demonstrates the death and burial of our old ways. We publicly put down our marker as a follower of Jesus Christ.
