Wrap up my first sermon series this weekend. I think we finally got the audio working on our website – www.whillschurch.org.

This series had brewing in my head for a long time. Trying to change our understanding of church from institution to movement. The church as a movement, a conspiracy of subterfuge is easy to see in scripture, almost impossible to see as current example.

Preaching sermons about it is also easy. Actually pulling it off? Remains to be seen. The good vibe of the first month will be followed by many questions we get to deal with the rest of the year.

Is what we are doing for the purpose of advancing God’s story or Western Hills? Would the community around us miss us if we dissappeared? Are we really trying to be more like Jesus or just more likable?

Are we more connected to Jesus or the church? Do we even know how to connect and stay connected to Jesus?

So many more questions than answers…
