Listen "Reformation Before Revival"
Episode Synopsis
Episode 252: Reformation Before RevivalAre we building our churches on God's blueprint or our own? It is a legitimate question and this episode of Mavericks & Misfits challenges us to examine the very foundations of how we 'do church' in modern times. The core insight revolves around Ephesians 4, which outlines the five-fold ministry model of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers. We are called to shift from a consumer-driven, individual-focused approach to a Kingdom-minded, God-glorifying structure. This isn't just about tweaking our services; it's about a complete reformation of our understanding of church. We are reminded that the early church met both in homes and in larger gatherings, emphasizing the importance of community and shared mission. The model for church found in Scripture urges us to prioritize prayer, embrace the supernatural, and become strategic sending centers. It's a call to move beyond comfort and familiarity, to truly seek God's presence and power in our congregations. As we reflect on this, we must ask ourselves: Are we content with 'good,' or are we willing to pursue God's 'excellent' plan for His church?
