1 thought on “Another Illustration of Missional Church”
I LOVE this illustration. And this is exactly what we need to get to. Lord, help us get there!! I am constantly fighting my tendency to build a better service or create more attractive programs with IV because that is simply what I and so many of my students have known of the church forever. But the missional stuff–the going out and taking what you have with you to give it away–that is the stuff that has proven to be most fruitful!! Missional church is SO COMPELLING isn’t it?!! That’s basically what Jesus did in Luke 10, sending out the 72. It actually requires the whole church to be the church rather than just the pastor and a few leaders.
