It’s the middle of the week. Woo-hoo! We made it. Been a bit of busy week, but accomplishment feels so good. I’m a list person. So I make list all week and just check em off as I go. I think it helps me in several ways, but mostly to feel good about myself.
We had a nice small group tonight. A big reward of small group is the chance to really get to know some great people. The biggest question we really thought about tonight is if we’re not reaching people with the love of God, then is what we do at church insignificant? The answer is yes. The point of the church is not just for believers to have this amazing party to celebrate at each week, but that people can come together and discover Jesus as well. The Church is the only place where 7 Channels of influence (Media – Arts and Entertainment – Business – Education – Government – Social Sector — Church) can interact together at one time. The church is not some hospital where the sick can “come” and be healed. It’s a mission for us to go out and bring people in. Our jobs as leaders in the church is to create a welcome and relevant atmosphere where Jesus is lifted high and people can find the gospel. So think about that this week when you meet someone. Think about inviting them to church.
Found this video and it just made me smile. I hope it affects you the same way… (I had music with it, but the vid was giving me problems, just imagine a good jack johnson song)
