“Rethink Church, Reboot Church: Live Out Loud”
(October 11, 2009) We conclude the sermon series examining the practices of the early church in Acts 2:42-47, using their example as a starting point for ways we might not only rethink church but “reboot” it by going back to the beginning. The early church did indeed preach the Gospel, but did so mostly with the examples they set with their lives. What if we considered preaching to look less like street-corner evangelism or pastors in pulpits and more like workers in soup kitchens and health clinics and house-building projects? In what ways is God calling you to take what you believe and live it out loud? (Acts 2:42-47, James 2:14-26, Matthew 5:13-16)
