Are you interested in Bible studies?” It was a bold question for a senior member of a local church. When a salesman knocked on her door, her first response was, “It’s the Sabbath; I’m not interested.” But that morning I had preached a sermon that challenged the congregation to be bold. God used that message to spark this church member to ask the salesman if he would be interested in Bible studies.
“Actually, I am,” the young man replied.
“Would you like to go to church?” Another bold question. Was she really doing this?
“Yes, I would. Can I go with you?” he seemed sincerely interested.
