From monologue to dialogue. From audience to participants. From performance to empowerment. A shift in the way we meet, the way we learn and the way we lead.

That allowing the congregation to interact and discuss Scripture will lead to heresy #liespastorsbelieve

That Jesus did ministry by himself, without a team and support network #liespastorsbelieve

For some people, the Sunday service is a thin place, a permeable membrane between heaven and earth. But, for many who have done ministry, church becomes and thickened and calloused place, an impermeable membrane between heaven and earth.

Sermon-centered church is almost universal, however, the Bible allows open, Spirit-led sharing. (1 Corinthians 14:26)

[Steve Simms @CSteveSimms]

If it was a good thing to reform church 500 years ago, perhaps it is also a good thing to go beyond church as usual nowadays.

We don't want our people to hold meetings in churches less they lose touch w/the masses & become content w/audiences of admirers. Wm Booth

@mcalomiris Thank you, Manolis. I have been studying full time and been very busy. It was a blessing to have time to write for the past few years.

An emphasis on sermons has given us many eloquent speakers, but few mature spiritual elders. https://t.co/tmAMgYqNo6

As 1 jigsaw puzzle piece needs the others, so Christ-followers need one another.

Your synoptic Jesus taught political resistance.

Have we overplayed the sermon card? A good question to ponder... https://t.co/BhJMU1l1io

Here's #PerthBabyJesus in the flesh. He's with Mary and Joseph seeking refuge - will he be offered safety or turned away? #LoveMakesAWay

[Kate Leaney 🏳️‍🌈 @kateleaney]

Persecution like in the case of #PerthBabyJesus is devastating. Our refusal to honour their right to seek safety is #inhumane #LoveMakesAWay
