I want a church where I can get fed…

ReThink Church: Pt 2 – What is Worship?

I am currently teaching a series called ReThink Church which I am recapping on this blog with a few extra  thoughts.  This second teaching will be broken into several parts so the post won't be so long and allowing me not to rush through it.  If you haven't read Pt.I, take the time to read it first.  It lays the foundation that informs all the rest of this series. Having looked at what the church is, [...]
