Seeking Gods FACE
Seeking God…for an Outpouring of His Spirit
Over the last 2000 years, the Church has evolved in some pretty amazing ways. We added church buildings. We added pews and pulpits. We added choirs and organs. We added s ermons and worship bands.
We added bulletins and Sunday School. We added offerings and 501 (c) 3 status. And there is nothing inherently wrong with any of those things. But none of these things are what makes a church a church.
The Church was birthed in Acts 2 when God poured out His Spirit. Nothing has changed. You don’t need a building to be a church. And you can have a building, but without the Spirit, you don’t have a church!
The longer I pastor the more I realize that the simple things are the important things.
We need all the creativity we can get, and I am all for systems and technologies and s trategies. But what we need more than anything else if we are going to have the kind of impact the first century Church has, is the an outpouring of the Spirit of God!
