Name: Everyday Classic Meat Sauce (With Spaghetti)

Thom Rainer did a study a number of years ago asking formerly unchurched people the open-ended question, “What factors led you to choose this church?” A lot of surveys had been done asking the unchurched what they would like in a church. But this study asked the formerly unchurched why they actually were now in a church. The results were surprising: 11 percent said worship style led them to their church, 25 percent said children’s/youth ministry, and 37 percent said they sensed God’s presence at their church. For 41 percent, someone from the church had witnessed to them, and 49 percent mentioned friendliness as the reason for choosing their church. Can you guess the top two responses? Doctrine and preaching – 88 percent said the doctrine led them to their church, and 90 percent said the preaching led them there, in particular, a pastor who preached with certitude and conviction… When it comes to reaching outsiders, bold, deep, biblical preaching is not the problem. It’s part of the solution.

INSTRUCTIONS

stir a few times to ensure that the pasta does not stick to itself. Boil
vigorously for the time recommended on the pasta package or until the pasta
is tender.
2. While the pasta cooks, heat the oil in a large skillet over high heat,
add the onion, and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 2 minutes.
Add the chili pepper if desired, the garlic, and the meat and continue
cooking until the meat loses its raw look.
3. Add the tomatoes, tomato paste, salt, and pepper, bring to a boil, and
simmer for 4 to 5 minutes. Adjust the salt and pepper and stir in the
parsley. Remove the chili pepper. Drain the pasta and toss it with the
sauce in a serving bowl.
