Compel Them To Come

Jim and Sheila Schmidt lead a discussion focusing on the biblical passage where Jesus instructs their disciples to compel people to come. They use this as a metaphor for spreading the gospel, emphasizing the importance of actively reaching out to others rather than waiting for them to come to us. They encourage listeners to use their influence to compel others, sharing personal anecdotes and examples of successful outreach efforts. They also highlight the significance of love in fulfilling the great commandment and the great commission, urging listeners to write a love letter from God to themselves to deepen their understanding of God's love. The discussion concludes with a prayer for listeners to be compelled by the Holy Spirit to share the love of Jesus with others.
