1. Church isn't about our programs, ministries, music, or even our gatherings. Church is about a group of people who have decided to live out the mission of God to redeem this world and the people in it. It's about taking the love of God outside our walls; shifting our focus from creating programs to sustain those already in a relationship with Jesus to reaching beyond a consumer Christianity and taking the Good News to those who don't have a relationship with Jesus.
2. What I grew up thinking church was supposed to be may not be what it really is all about.
3. The church is the people NOT a building. Its a call to adventure & revolutionary lifestyle change NOT a revival. Its being in the Bible, in prayer, in a community of others on the journey to Christ NOT about going to a building for an hour on Sunday to have as Pastor feed me spiritually.
Just some random thoughts and ideas I'm working through in my own life right now.
