I love talking about the mission and vision - better - I love hearing people who get it!
From those leading our 2 MCs that met yesterday it seems that some people are getting it... but not just getting the mission and vision in theory - getting it in reality - getting it as the call of their lives, not as words on paper!
AND getting that the mission flows not from church leadership but from God's great mission of redemption and restoration!
AND getting the truth that our participation in that mission is not programatic but flows from our worship - daily worship. Discussion seems to have been great in those MCs as they searched honestly for the idols of their own lives - idols that take God's place as the daily center of life - kids, job, $, sex, alcohol, drugs...
MOVE - it is our great desire to see the people of New City MOVE toward seeing the gospel transform everything within our reach - ourselves, our church, our city and the world! How will we best see that? As a worshipping community of missional theologians!
