Pastor John K. Jenkins Sr.

B.L.E.S.S. PART 3 - ENGAGE RELATIONALLY

Continuing the BLESS series for reaching the lost, Pastor Jenkins teaches that the third step—represented by "E"—is Engage Relationally. After beseeching God in prayer and listening to people's hearts, believers must take the next step: entering people's worlds through shared interests, shared meals, and genuine connection. Like Paul, we are called to become all things to all people so that by all means we might save some.
