Week 4-Monday:

What is the Emerging Church? The topic of our conversation and it was very interesting to hear other church leaders from the US and the UK express these movements within these church communities. We found through this Emerging Church movement is that people desire to be part of a community that is actively involved in the community (i.e. homeless individuals). It was interesting to hear that people began to desire a space to worship, live life together, eat together, and serve together. The reason why this is interesting is because I thought this was a smaller movement that you only read about and rarely practiced, but I was wrong in assuming that. We see all over the place, bundles of people and communities living life together for the glory of God. We also discussed we should have a holistic kingdom perspective which could be a radical movement of change in order for people to see God in the community with God and for God! My desire is that we would be a movement of people in the name of Jesus without any hesitation.
