Realigning our relationship with the church

“I consider myself a Christian, but I can’t stand the institutionalized church.” Tough. No matter how bad it gets screwed up, Jesus handed over responsibility for His mission to people like you and me—broken people. The church is Plan A, and there is no Plan B. So instead of throwing it out, let’s realign it. The plan we see in Scripture is accountable leadership (people submitting to each other) and spirit-led ministry (people submitting to God). Ultimately, life is not governed by rules, but by relationships.  (Message recorded 01-22-12)
