No sound system. No band. No guitar. No entertainment. No cushioned chairs. No heating or air-con. Nothing but the people of God and the word of God. And strangely, that's enough. God's Word is enough for millions of believers who gather in house churches... Jungles... Rainforests, and middle-eastern cities. But is his Word enough for us?

The very first word out of Jesus; mouth in is ministry in the New Testament is clear: repent.

We do not follow a health and wealth savior. We follow a homeless and wounded Savior.

Saturate your preaching with the gospel in the church, so that you people speak gospel in the world.

As long as you and I understand salvation as checking off a box to get to God, we will find ourselves in the meaningless sea of world religions that actually condemn the human race by exalting our supposed ability to get to God. On the other hand, when you and I realize that we are morally evil, dead in sin and deserving of God's wrath with no way out on our own, we begin to discover our desperation for Christ.

The Life of Christ determines everything about us.

In our evil we rebel against God. We take the law of God, written in his Word and on our hearts, and we disobey it.
