Do you wanna...?

Are you here cause you want to hear from God?

I imagine this would be a dangerous statement to kick off church over the Easter weekend.

Church attendance will swell over the next few days, but the reason will have little to do with "wanting to hear what God has to say and how it can influence their lives."

It will have to do with tradition. Or keeping up appearances. Or smoothing things over with the family.

What would happen if the idea of God communicating with people was placed squarely at the centre of the Easter service invitation?
If you gave people the choice that they will hear what God has to say about their life, unless they leave in the next two minutes, how many people would vacate?
Equally, would the result be any different if you said it prior to any other service?
