We often say that the people are the church. We believe that the church isn't a building, a collection of programs, a group of ministers, or some council of elders, the people are the church.
As winter is lifting and spring is here (by the way, when you finish reading this, go get your free water ice from Rita's), we are ready to go out and be the church. There are some great people in our community that are living out the Gospel every day and we're excited to partner with some of them this spring. On March 29, we're going to collect diapers and baby wipes for YoungLives so that they can bless the teen moms they are ministering to with free supplies for their babies. We're also going to link arms with our neighbors and help Norristown Weed and Seed to clean up Norristown on April 11th and 18th*.
I am extremely excited about these events. Mainly because they are not Storehouse events. Not at all! They are kingdom events. They are opportunities for us to BE the church. We didn't plan anything, we have no team leader, no committee, we're just showing up with the hands and feet of Jesus and I believe God is going to bless many lives as a result.
Hearing the Gospel is nice, teaching the Gospel is good, but there is incredible, earth-shattering power unleashed when we live out the Gospel!
