…people and their God-glorifiying story.
The first week of “The Church” series was focused on trying to introduce the simple truth that “church” is people…you and I and the God within us…and the amazing story of how that Spirit of God moves in, among, around, and through each of us.
We looked at 1 Peter 2:9 “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God’s own possession, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…” In its simplest definition Peter has defined what “the church” is for us…and given us the responsibility to tell HIS story to the world.
Today I was reading over some notes and found this highlight from Ed Stetzer. In his book, Breaking the Missional Code, he explains how the church must change if we are to stay in line with this biblical understanding of “the church.”
From programs to processes
From demographics to discernment
From models to missions
From attractional to incarnational
From uniformity to diversity
From professional to passionate
From seating to sending
From decisions to disciples
From additional to exponential
From monuments to movements
What thoughts does this stir in you? How do you see this is true/not true?
