Luke 5.27-32 In today’s message we learn about Matthew’s unique calling from being a tax collector to a disciple of Jesus. His unique approach to evangelism serves as a model for us to follow. His party was more than just a farewell to his old friends and an introduction to his new friends. It served as an evangelistic mixer that brought the two groups together in the hopes that his hold buddies would come to know and love the One who had saved him and changed his life completely. Only Christ can do that. We need to consider ways to share the gospel in non-threatening environments. If one out of four will come to church if invited, that means three out of four won’t. That means we need to go to the places where they are. Let’s throw some Matthew mixers.
