How Jesus Attracted Crowds

Text Mathew 4:25; Mark12: 37

Intro: One of the impressive characteristics of Jesus’ ministry was that it attracted crowds, Large crowds, Enormous crowds.
-King James version calls them ‘Multitudes’

1. Loving unbelievers like Jesus did   I John 4:8

1. Creating an atmosphere of acceptance (Long before the pastor preaches, the visitors are already deciding if they will come back)

1. Leadership/congregation must be loving (Our world is filled with lonely people who are starving for the affirmation of a loving touch)

4) Accepting without approving  (We cannot expect unbelievers to act like believers until they are believers)    I Corinth. 5:9-12
