Are you ready to leave the building?For too long the church has cultivated a siege mentality when what we really need to recognise is that we are in a battle. It is not a question of overcoming our enemy by constructing the strongest defences, it is a call to arms that takes the fight out of the building and onto the front line. If we find ourselves happier inside a building following comfortable rituals and rarely bringing our faith in direct engagement with our community and culture, we will be relatively safe but spiritually ineffective. This is not God’s plan for the church – whether it’s GHBC or the universal church. Committing to make Christ known is more than having a preaching station on a busy street – it is a daily engagement with every fibre of our being, wherever we may find ourselves, bringing Christ into conversations, minds, lives and homes.
