Mark 2, 3

Wherever Jesus went He seemed to gather crowds. They were probably attracted to the miraculous display of God’s power to heal and cast out demons. When He had them together, He would teach them about the Kingdom of God.

An interesting question is, “How can you gather people to a church?” The simplest answer is seek the Lord for a show of His power.

Pastor Jim Cymbala of the Brooklyn Tabernacle says, “We don’t plan out our services. We rely on the power of the Holy Spirit to lead us. When people come in off the street, they aren’t attracted to slick programs. They want to see and experience God’s Holy Ghost power.”
