What is Church?

This Sunday we continue with our discussion about stripped down Christianity with the question “What is church?”. America’s “church” culture is so caught up in mega this and meta that… postmodernism vs. modern….. We find ourselves in place where there seems to almost be an identity crisis that truly threatens the gift that God gave to us through His church. Actually I think that is exactly what the problem is…. We act like the church is ours but really it is God’s church. In Matthew 16:18 “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Sometimes I think that we trust out own abilities and ideas instead of relying on the Spirit of God to guide us as His church. The gates of Hell will not prevail over HIS church not OUR church. I think that is a lesson that I’ve learned over the last year…. Living To Go Church is HIS church and the Gates of Hell will not prevail against it…..

So back to this week-end: What does His church look like? What does it not look like? The answer may be much different from what we normally see in “Christian” America…. Can’t wait to see you this Sunday morning..
