Invitations Give People an Opportunity to Respond to the Holy Spirit
For many years churches have ended the sermon with a call for people to come to the front and receive Christ or to rededicate their life.

Salvation doesn’t have to occur at the church altar. However, souls can be saved at the conclusion of the sermon in the house of God.
