Living relationships vs institutions

Heya friends, great to see a few new faces this week. For those who took advantage of the long weekend to get away - or for anyone who wants a recap - here's those three short clips we looked.
The first clip is from a movement that's underway in the US who are also wrestling with how to BE the church in the midst of a local community...just like us. Check out some of there thoughts below.
The next clips were two short snippets from Neil Cole, who has helped pioneer what's often referred to as the 'Organic Church' movement. One of my favourite quotes from Mr Cole is "You shouldn't have to leave life to go to church!" He's deeply passionate about seeing the church following Jesus' command to go into our cities and neighbourhoods with the message and power of Jesus' kingdom. Really worth a look - take the time and see what you think.
In the first clip he talks about the church as a decentralised movement for the kingdom...I love this idea.
In the second and final clip we looked, Neil talks about two very different approaches to how to disciple people and help them grow. So often we seem to work in the opposite way Jesus did! Some great food for thought here...and a great reminder that our job is to RELEASE people, not control them. Enjoy.
