What can we learn

Are we Bringing People to Jesus ?

Andrew Knew how important it was and did it, are we?

Research shows that 9/10 teenagers will go to church is asked by a friend- but you may have to ask more than once

What are we giving to Jesus?

Are we serving ?

If so why ? for our Glory or His ?
