recently, I have been reminded over and over again that the church is so much more than a building at a specific location. The church is a body of believers who gather together to celebrate communion and baptism and worship the Lord by not only listening to sermons but even more so living life together.
I sent a note out to the teachers this Sunday that contained the sentence...
"Looking forward to being back with the rest of
Emmanuel this Sunday!"
I very purposefully chose those words.
It was so great to be with believers from our church while ministering in Jamaica.
It will be great to be with the members of our church in worship this Sunday.
While I appreciate our church building, it is not THE church.
What is most excited about the church is not coming to a specific place, even if there is new construction on the building.
What is most excited about the church is the spiritual growth of people .
