Trying to figure out what God wants to do with Real Life in 2010. Not as easy as it may seem. So I'm thinking in terms of the vision that He's given us, to create a place for people who don't have a place so that we can help every person possible find Real Life through a relationship with Jesus Christ.
We're not trying to reach the people who would fit in at the Baptist church, or Methodist, Presbyterian, AG or others that exist. No, we're trying to create a place where people who don't fit into those traditional venues for worship can get involved. And that's difficult.
It's not just thinking outside the box, as some have said. We have to pretend there is no "church" box. How did Jesus reach and teach? If He would have attended a church, what would it have looked like?
I'm thinking in 2010 there needs to be a greater emphasis on connecting with people outside our walls, video is a great way to do this. People around the world can watch online. Maybe podcasting the messages/worship? Getting on a local television station?
How can we help every person possible find Real Life through Jesus - the best way is for you to tell your friends, neighbors, co-workers, acquaintances, etc. There is a church where you can feel comfortable the minute you walk in. Where you can learn and grow in a way that is current - not 50 or 100 years old.
How do you think we can work to continue the vision in 2010? any ideas?
Thoughts on the Bible, Church, life and living it to its full potential in Jesus Christ!
