To build a good fire, we need a good spark.
The key to a good fire is actually having good fuel.
Looking for spiritual sparks.
But missing the spiritual fuel.
Seminars, to get excited.
Events, and talks.
What is the fuel?
Walking in the body of Christ and as a disciple.
We are not alone, together with Christians it keeps the fire going.
We case after the experience,
Challenges keeps us going.
Challenge:
World's worst lifegroup
Boring church
Hurt by the church
What is church?
Church is the body of Christ. The people, christians, are Christs body. He is the head. We the people need to work together to make it work like a body shoul work. Everyone has a specific role, talent, gifts. Together it forms the church and teamwork is needed.
The church is a place where people can go to spend time with God. To bring other people so that they can learn about Jesus.
Is church a culture?
Is it how we perceived it to be?
Is it a value we have?
Figure out what the church is.
Church means called out ones in greek.
Matthew 16:18
Ephesians.
We are the body. The fullness of Him on this earth.
Ephesians 3:10
The church is Gods vehicle.
The bride to Christ.
On fire for God.
Turn church into a consumer church
Hopping from church to church.
To consume from different parts to fulfill yourself.
