Join us for a transformative seminar designed exclusively for pastors who want to master the art of the evangelistic invitation. In this 90-minute webinar, Pastor Nelson Searcy will go in-depth on how and when to extend an evangelistic invitation from the pulpit. This is one of the most critical invitations a pastor can master and this teaching will focus on every aspect of asking for this eternal decision.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF ANY SERMON?
ANSWER: THE INVITATION
The invitation is where the sermon comes to a point and it’s decision time. And while there are many types of invitations, the most important is the “evangelistic invitation” where listeners are invited to accept or reject an eternity with Jesus Christ.
As you extend the evangelistic invitation, heaven and hell hang in the balance for those listening.
Whether a person comes to faith in Jesus after your invitation is a mysterious work of the Holy Spirit. This mysterious work doesn’t mean preachers shouldn’t make a clear, compelling and well-crafted invitation. Preaching a sermon is a sacred calling and the evangelistic invitation may be the most important part of that calling.
Are you giving it the focus it deserves?
During this 90-minute practical and honest training, we will explore:
- The Power of the Evangelistic Invitation — and why it deserves a priority in a preacher’s preparation.
- The preacher’s role vs the role of the Holy Spirit and how they work together.
- Winning the spiritual warfare battle when extending the invitation.
- Overcoming your fear, internal resistance or uncertainty when extending an evangelistic invitation.
- The role of prayer in preparing and extending the evangelistic invitation.
- Creative ways to extend the evangelistic invitation.
- When to extend the evangelistic invitation in a sermon (hint: it doesn’t always have to be at the very end of the sermon).
- Various proven ways to effectively gather the contact information of those who say “YES” to the evangelistic invitation.
- Multiple ways you can give the evangelistic invitation so it’s clear, compelling and creative.
- How a poorly executed invitation may hinder someone from saying “yes.”
- How to prepare yourself spiritually and practically to extend a well-crafted evangelistic invitation.
- Various ways to call for the decision that connect with people at different points in their spiritual journey.
- How to prepare for people to say “yes” to your evangelistic invitation.
- The role of “confident expectation” in extending an invitation.
- The role of the “sinner’s prayer” in an evangelistic invitation.
- Specific parts of the evangelistic invitation and how to ensure you never forget what is most important.
- Specific phrasing that God has used in the ministry of historical figures who effectively extended an evangelistic invitation.
- How to avoid common mistakes that can derail your Gospel invitation.
- And much more!
