Thoughts to ponder: church buildings and such.

If a churches main focus is in the main building; they are missing the point!

A question of "divine" inspiration came to me recently when I was pondering our church's mission and vision. The question was:

"How would you be Jesus to this community if you didn't have a church building?"

That question opens up so many answers, doors and ideas! How would you do church differently if you didn't have a place of your own... at least not in the sense of a church building. How would you do church differently if your focus was entirely outward, constantly outward all the time?

Maybe we should take a page from the early christians books... They met in their own homes and the Gospel passed from family to family. Why aren't we still doing this? Have we just complicated things a little bit?

Don't get me wrong. It's great to have a church building. But do we really need it? Truthfully? Jesus seemed to be a bit of a nomad to me... why aren't we?
