When people feel loved, accepted, and safe, they are more likely to open their hearts up to God, enter into praise and worship, and receive the message. Barna research has determined that the average person decides whether they will come back to a church within the first five minutes upon arriving. That is before they ever hear the first song or the message. Those first five minutes determine how people will receive from God during the rest of the service. Our words and actions must convey the same love and value that Jesus Christ demonstrated.
