ESTABLISHING CHURCHES 3 - Five Characteristics of this New Kind of Community

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH-PLANTING | CHURCH | COMMUNITY | LOVE | UNITY | WORD OF GOD | BOOK OF ACTS

Does something about the American church experience seem odd to you? Like it’s so different from what we see in the New Testament? If you’ve ever felt like that, you’re not alone. Jesus’ heart for the church was not to have a weekly religious meeting but to have a community of radical love, unity, and devotion to the Word of God, a community that would bring healing and restoration to a broken world.

JAKE STIMPSON | CHURCH | NEW TESTAMENT | POWER | PRIESTS | TEMPLE OF GOD | BODY OF CHRIST | TRUTH

Rather than being simply another meeting to go to, the church as God envisioned it is the hope of the world. We are called as the temple of God, where the Holy Spirit of God Himself dwells. We are the body of Christ, a mystical, miraculous union of God and mankind, carrying the authority of God because we are united with God. We are the pillar and foundation of truth, a kingdom of priests, making the wisdom of God known to the world.

Your conception of the church is wrong. That’s a bold statement, but I think it’s most likely true. When Jesus died and rose again, He hinged all His plans of conquering the kingdom of darkness and spreading love throughout the planet on one thing – the church. As He envisioned it, the church is more than just a 90-minute religious interest group where people go to be entertained or encouraged. The church was meant to be the most compelling movement ever conceived, a family of transformed people who transform the world. Anything less is a cheap imitation.
