An Easter Invitation
By Ryan Dawson
Join us this Easter season as we celebrate the uniqueness of Jesus Christ. Over the four weeks leading to Easter, we will use Biblical insights and powerful video clips from The Chosen series, in our worship services, to explore the profound identity and mission of Jesus of Nazareth. Whether you are a seeker, skeptic, or believer you will be encouraged and inspired as we meet Jesus through the Triumphal Entry, the Last Supper, the crucifixion, and the resurrection.
Our message flow for our Last Supper sermon series will be the following…
• April 6 - Message: "Jesus the Bread of Life"
• April 13 (Palm Sunday) - Message: "Jesus the King of Kings"
• April 18 (Good Friday) - Message: "Jesus the Suffering Saviour" with Communion.
• April 20 (Easter Sunday) - Message: "Jesus the Risen One" with baptisms.
It is true that people are more apt to engage in a spiritual conversation or explore Christianity around the seasons of Christmas and Easter. This means that it is a great time to invite unchurched friends, family, and colleagues to join you at a Sequoia service. We have made inviting friends so easy with our Sequoia app. Simply open the “Upcoming Events” tab on the Sequoia app home screen and then choose “Worship Services Calendar” where you will see the various Easter services listed. When you choose a worship service you plan to attend you can use the “Share button” (up arrow) to pass on a link to a friend by text or email. Add a note like… “Hey Ryan, I hope you are well. Would you like to join me for an Easter service at my church? It would be great to have you come. I have added the info, so let me know if you are interested. Thanks!”
A simple text invite, that takes 20 seconds, could change someone’s eternity. I want to encourage you to take time right now to prayerfully consider who you can invite and then to act, by using the app to invite them. Of course, it would be even better to give someone a personal verbal invitation, but God can, and will use both invitations for His good purposes. Let’s trust God to draw people to Himself this Easter as we step out in faith to invite them.
I look forward to seeing you and your friends at our Easter services.
Blessings, Ryan
*In-person services are held at Ottawa Christian School at 10am.
*On-line services go live at 10:10am and are available on demand anytime through the Sequoia app & website.
