Learning to Love: Reaching the Unchurched with Action and Truth

Feb 23, 2026    Pastor Jeff Lambert

This Sunday, we explored what it means to truly love the church—not just the building, but the transformed lives within it. From defeated to hopeful, from lost to found, from addicted to free. That's the power of God's love in action. Like John Newton, the slave trader who became the author of "Amazing Grace," no one is beyond the reach of God's transforming love.


311 million people aren't in church today. But here's the powerful truth: 63% of them would walk through our doors if someone simply invited them.


Love isn't just words and worship songs. It's action. It's inviting that friend, coworker, or neighbor who needs hope. It's being the church beyond Sunday morning. Romans 10 asks: "How can they believe in him if they've never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?"


Who will you invite? Every empty chair has a name. Every life matters to God.
