Bears Repeating. "It's Your Church" (Late late edition)

"A delayed blog post is better than no blog post at all."

-Harriet Tubman

Here's a few thoughts to discuss the message from Sunday.

Discuss as a group the implications that your group is church, your families are church, your church is church, etc. In the deemphasizing of the institution of "Church" it suddenly pulls into focus our role, or lack of it, in the way of Christ. Not as a guilt trip, but as a clarifier of whether we are in direct contact with our own faith, or if the church mediates for us. It's an important distinction as we consider both the relevance of our own belief, and how we think of God in our world.

Discussion questions

• What most stuck with you from the message Sunday?
• What effect does finding out you are the church, authorized by Christ to carry out The Way with or without a formal assembly of church leaders?
• Does this idea scare you, inspire you? Explain?
