What Does The Bible Actually Have To Say About Church?
In this video, Francis Chan asks a question that I don't think many Christians have considered:
"If someone asked you to describe church using only the Bible, what would you say?"
Regardless of who you are - whether you go to church regularly or not at all - I think video will be interesting and thought-provoking. Take a look, and see whether you agree.
I greatly admire Francis Chan and I find his simplicity refreshing. It is not without reason that he's been called "Captain Obvious". Francis has a gift of being able to communicate the most simple and basic of truths in a clear and engaging way.
Family, Gathering, Mission and Training
It seems fashionable today for Christians to criticise the church, and many have become dejected and disappointed with what they see. Perhaps this is because we try to make church something it was never intended to be.
Church should be beautiful. It should be inspiring. It should be the envy of the world. I think the vision of We Are Church (www.wearechurch.com) captures something of this.
