It was the congregation assembled at Lazarus’ resurrection that “told the story.”
A testimonial is social proof.
89% of businesses consider customer testimonials the most effective content marketing tactics.
Why are christians so-bad at social proofing?
Churches are bad at keeping things simple!
It was the congregation assembled at Lazarus’ resurrection that “told the story.”
“Many people” came out to the next Jesus event, because they heard from people they knew.
Our church growing is vital for our mission to be achieved:
TO LEAD PEOPLE TO BECOME COMMITTED DISCIPLES OF JESUS CHRIST.

Maximum Testimonies have 3 Social Proofs if we are to achieve the mission.
Why are christians so-bad at social proofing?
Churches are bad at keeping things simple!
If we are to achieve the mission
Then we must provide maximum testimony.
----------------------------------------------
Maximum Testimony Is Social Proof of 3 Things:
Jesus brings good news into this bad news world (v18a).
Jesus offers freedom (v18b).
Jesus opens blind eyes (v18c).
Jesus proclaims favor not judgment (v19).
1.
Power of The Gospel.
It’s the same word Jesus uses in John chapter 11, when he gives orders that Lazarus, called forth from the tomb, should be “unbound”—turned loose, set free.
Fourth, Jesus pierces through darkness and opens blind eyes.
Fifth, Jesus proclaims—not God’s unremitting, well-deserved judgment…but rather: God’s astonishing grace and favor.
Jesus doesn’t represent the “God will get you for that” way of the law.
Jesus speaks for the God whose power is shown chiefly in showing mercy.
Sixth, Jesus does all these things NOW.
His one-sentence commentary begins with “today.”
Imagine that—the first time Jesus speaks as an adult in Luke’s gospel, he starts with the word “TODAY”--“Today, this scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”
Jesus does all these things now “today” (v20).

Key = to all nations.

Here it is:
2. The Heart of Our Church.

Point 2 - SHOW THEM WE’RE HERE FOR YOU
Ride or Die (core value)
3. The Change In Your Life.
