ITS NOT WHERE YOU GO, IT'S WHO YOU ARE...
"Hey, let's to go to church." Makes perfect sense. For many, when you say 'church' immediately the image of a building or location comes to mind; thinking, church is a place that we go. But, is that what Jesus or the apostles had in mind when they described the church? Or were they describing and experiencing something far better? Was Jesus' desire to get a group of people gathering in a certain location at a certain day and time each week? Or did He paint a much more beautiful picture of what a community of faith looked like? During this series, rather than talking about how we should go to church, we'll be exploring what it means to be the church. You just might not think of 'church' the same way again!
