Back to the Future (5/5) - To Infinity and Beyond ...

We dropped it all 3 years ago, shedding giant pieces of preconceived notions and cognitive dissonances. We stopped doing things just because we saw other people doing it, or someone convincing told us to, in order to chase after what was the real church that God wanted. Since then God has been giving us new pieces, reshaping old ones, as we journey to be led by Him, to be molded by Him, to be His people.

That work is ongoing, God’s definitely not done with us. By that I mean us, what’s going to change is not the organization, or the programs, or the structure. What’s going to change it’s you and I, taking risks by the Spirit’s leading, and by faith moving into God’s reality together.

We will be church.

Those of you who stick around are going to have to be OK with the responsibilities that come from such a perspective shift. I know most of you are actually really excited about that! Next week Dom’s going to talk about some practical ways you guys can get in on that action if you haven’t already.
