The Most Attractive Church
T.W. Barnes

Methods Of Attraction
•	Many ways to attract people
•	i.e. Organization and Advertising
•	Nothing attracts like the power of God
•	It takes many people to get the job done and to keep things moving
•	Many churches once had the power of the Lord, but when they lost the power, the Lord moved out
•	We have much to offer a lost world, but we need to be an attractive church 
•	Every member is a worker 
•	Our church needs everybody to make this an attractive church
•	We want to look like Christians, walk like Christians, act like Christians; we want to be Christians wherever we go 
•	Be what you are, but don't "rub it in" 

The World's Most Attractive Church! 
•	What attracted them on the day of Pentecost? 
•	A sound from heaven
•	Tongues like as unto fire sat upon each of them 
•	They all began to speak in that supernatural language 
•	The world tries to understand tongues, but they can't 
•	They continued daily in one accord 
•	They were a happy people 
•	They had favor with all 
•	A growing church and a fruitful church attracts people of the world
•	We must also live genuine Christian lives if we attract lost souls to our church

The New Testament Church
•	No city is too hard for the New Testament church
•	We can have revival in any city 
•	Do not doubt Him 
•	We have felt Him; we have heard Him; we are witnesses 
•	Don't try to force--just be a witness
•	Continued in the Apostle's doctrine 
•	How did the early church have continual revival? 
•	It was a Holy Ghost church 

What Will Cause The Church To Become Unattractive? 
•	Offenses against each other causes the church to loose its attractiveness  
•	A church can have the best singing and the best music and still be just four walls and pews 
•	It can have the best organization, it can have a million dollar building, but be cold and dead

What Makes Any Church Attractive? 
•	Our sins lifted Him and nailed Him to the old rugged cross 
•	He lives! He lives! Christ Jesus lives today
•	Now my love lifts up a glorified Christ to the world 
•	I want you to see the King of Glory 
•	It is He that attracts  
•	Great singing and great preaching alone will not attract the lost, but His Spirit will
•	Only the Spirit of God draws men to Him

What Must We Do?
•	We must keep growing in this realm to attract people to come and be saved 
•	The greatest thing about the Pentecostal Church
•	People, troubled and heartbroken, need to hear this 
•	Sin has wrecked their lives 
•	Satan is trying to discourage others and cause them to fall by the wayside
