Engage Culture....

Engage culture: 
Do you have any friend outside of "church"? Jesus was a “friend of sinners.” He did that by eating with them. We must be friends with the culture. We need to be missionaries. What do you like to do? Drink coffee? Go and hang out at the local coffee shop... and be friendly. Don't be a like a salesman trying to turn or burn someone to come to the Lord. Just be yourself.... hopefully you aren't an overbearing legalistic sort  of person :)

What was Jesus like? People wanted to be WITH JESUS.
When was the last time people were knocking down doors to get into your church/small group?
Our problem is perception.

What people 1) See.... 2) Hear..... 3) Experience = perception

Ponder that equation. Put on a fresh set of eyes. When you come into contact with people... when people go to your church or small group.... what do they see, hear and experience?
