Sunday 9/23/2012, The Mission: Showing, "Re:Imagine Church" (Acts 2:42-47) Pastor Daniel Fusco
When the average American thinks of "church," an interesting picture emerges. It usually involves a building. Sometimes a choir. Maybe even people wearing robes. But it doesn't involve them. Multiple recent studies have shown that a majority of Americans believe in God, but do not see church as necessary for their spiritual growth, or even relevant to their lives.
Americans disconnecting with church might be disheartening to us on the one hand, but at the same time it's an opportunity for us to take a fresh look at what "church" was meant to be, when God created it. In the book of Acts, a community that was newly filled with the Spirit looked radically different than today's common misconceptions of what church is all about. Instead of buildings, robes, and choirs, we see people living an amazing brand-new life in Christ, in deep and intimate community. Join us as Pastor Daniel leads us through Acts 2:42-47 as together we Re:Imagine Church.
