The Third Place
We are basically in the ‘relationship’ business. And we hunger to connect with other people – because that is the way that God designed us to be. We are AUTHENTIC … we are PARTICIPATING … we are CONNECTING …
AUTHENTIC:
An authentic ‘experience’ is more than just words – and the best way to create authenticity is with a few people at a time.
“God always speaks in more than just words …” John 1:14
An authentic experience will be made personal through our full participation in what God is doing – one person at a time.
PARTICIPATING:
We hope to ‘bring things to life’ – by participating in Christ’s life.
“Jesus didn’t expect everyone to ‘get the message’ …”
Matthew 13:13-15
But He did invite everyone to hear God’s story – to become part of God’s story – and to learn about others who have joined God’s story – and are seeking His presence.
CONNECTING:
Our goal is to turn ‘critics into customers’ – through our relationships and our ‘participation.’ Community is connecting!
“God connected with us … through our relationship with His Son …” Romans 5:8
The ‘Gospel’ for our connection is the gospel of our relationships – relationships that will ultimately lead to God.
