The Magnetic Church
Reignite the Church's Magnetism
Two thousand years ago, Jesus drew crowds with the undeniable presence of God’s Kingdom. Today, we’re called to rediscover that same magnetic force in our churches.
The Magnetic Church
What Happened?
The magnetic church is all about attracting people to become involved in christianity.
Christian magnetic church used to be a magnetic people. Now we are not. We have largely lost our magnetism. Now we have to work very hard at various kinds of mission and evangelism, in the hope of attracting the odd few.
Overall, as a religion, we are nowadays in steep decline. What’s changed?
Two thousand years ago the God-man Jesus Christ walked and talked and healed and taught the Kingdom of God. Thousands were drawn to him.
Sadly, modern experience shows that witnessing to Kingdom miracles, in itself, does not generate any natural imkling to go deeper. They bear not even a fraction of the desired fruit crop.
Christ himself was magnetic church and is alive in his church today, so can we possibly think of reaching out to regain some of that natural magnetism and draw the crowds again? Yes, indeed, we surely can!
Good works are good but there are more ‘nice’ people outside the church than there are in it. It is hardly a witness to Christ alive.
Let us try the way that Jesus did it and the way the early church exploded across the Roman Empire.

Christianity is declining, and we’re working hard to attract people, but the natural draw is missing. Why? Because we’ve lost sight of the very presence that made Jesus magnetic.
The Solution?
It’s time to return to the approach Jesus and the early church used. By proclaiming the nearness of God’s Kingdom, we create an atmosphere where the presence of God draws others to us.
How Do We Do This?
We study, we practice, and we live out the Kingdom message.
