Yesterday I left with this question: What would the church look like today if we would let Jesus build us into a disciple making movement?

I imagine there would be a sense of excitement within the church much like what is describe in Acts 2:42-47. Imagine living a life of a disciple who takes disciple making seriously in their every day life. You have a life that is truly led by the Spirit. God begins to orchestrate opportunities to have spiritual conversations with people within your circle of influence. Not forced conversations, but conversations that naturally occur.

You are connected to a group of people who you are in a discipling relationship with and you can't wait to come back to share what God is doing in your life. Not because you have to gather, but because God is blessing you as you live as a disciple.

Coming to worship would begin to take on a whole meaning and experience. The body coming together to celebrate what God is doing as He advances His Kingdom!

When Jesus builds His Church, He is building believers into true disciples who are going out into the world they live in making disciples who begin a journey to be more like Jesus tomorrow than they are today. Baptizing them and teaching them to be more like Jesus. They are not just inviting people to come to a worship service. They are leading them to be more like Jesus. Then when they come to a worship gathering they are experiencing the excitement of what God is doing through His church. They are not just having a worship experience that is put together on a Sunday morning.

I believe we have to get back to Acts 2:42-47 experience! Instead of thinking through the programs and systems to run the church like a business, we begin to experience what it looks like to be a church led by the Spirit. A Church in which Jesus is building believers into true disciples. A Church in which God's Kingdom is impacting the world.
