LET’S GO GET ‘EM’
The church must have a Go Get ‘Em’ mentality.
We can not wait on people to come to us;
We’ve got to go get the people! (Matthew 28:20)
LET’S GO GET ‘EM’
There are 5 main purposes of the NT Church:
Acts 2:42-47 “42 And they continued stedfastly in the
apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of
bread, and in prayers. 43 And fear came upon every
soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the
apostles. 44 And all that believed were together, and
had all things common; 45 And sold their possessions
and goods, and parted them to all [men], as every
man had need. 46 And they, continuing daily with one
accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house
to house, did eat their meat with gladness and
singleness of heart, 47 Praising God, and having favour
with all the people. And the Lord added to the church
daily such as should be saved.”

There are 5 main purposes of the NT Church:
*Many churches emphasize a few of these purposes,
but God wants us to be balanced and do all of
these purposes well.
*If the church is not intentional in fulfilling all of these
purposes, the church will become a personality
driven church by gravitating to the pastor’s
strength instead of it becoming a purpose driven
church.
*NRS is great at Fellowship, Ministry, & we’re pretty
good at Corporate Worship. We must be
intentional at getting better at EVANGELISM &
DISCIPLESHIP.

EVANGELISM
Luke 10:2 “These were his instructions to them:
"The harvest is so great, but the workers are so
few. Pray to the Lord who is in charge of the
harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for
his fields.”
*In Luke 9, Jesus sent his 12 disciples out to
preach.
*In Luke 10, Jesus sends 70 more disciples out to
heal the sick.
*Even with 82 dedicated workers, Jesus still implies
that it is not enough.

Luke 10:2 “These were his instructions to them:
"The harvest is so great, but the workers are so

harvest, and ask him to send out more workers for
his fields.”
*Even with a Bible class averaging right around 200
people, THE LABORERS ARE STILL FEW.
*I pray that God will send people to truly get
involved in our evangelism and outreach effort for
