I am the Church

When you talk about the church, what are the first things that you think of?

Worship, music, fellowship and an occasional service? Maybe you think of the actual building in which all of this occurs? What about those people who are “Un-churched” what do they think of? Uncomfortable Pews, unrealistic preacher and a repeated request for money? Both trains of thought could use some guidance. There is a reason that the un-churched wont step into the facility…. Its because so many of us are just as confused on what the Church is. We focus so much on the facilities for both good and bad, the building is nothing more then a tool used to help assimilate fellowship and community.That is why Christ made the church “Mobile”. 

The “church” is the person that follows Jesus. The church is seen in the life that has been changed by the presence of God, not seen in the beautiful  building..

If we understand that this is what the church is, we must ask ourselves; What does the man or woman that does not know God see in the church….

 What does the life I live before the lost world say about the church??????

What will the church in you look like in 2008?
