AWE KERK!! Share you thoughts!!
The purpose of the external church (the building) is to ad or build the internal church (the body)
We come together to build each other as the church/congregation/community, NOT to build more external churches (buildings) and break or divide each other.
John 2:19. Yahusha answered Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”
In my opinion He spoke about His own body
Luke 18:33 - and they shall scourge Him and put Him to death, and the third day He shall rise again.”
This first Temple the original Temple the body
The external church should be more then just a motivational centre, a feel good service but it should be people coming together, sharing opportunities, ideas, finances and giving jobs, teaching different disciplines to maintain all of these stuff.
Also be mindful "Making disciples off all nations" can also mean transferring what is given to you to someone else making them equally as good or beter then you
John 14 :12
Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
If we sit in an external church for 10 years and your leader is still way beter off then you in all areas, then there is no transfer happening the body should grow as one in all areas.
So whenever you go to the external church always go with the mission to build the internal church and others around you
As the purpose of the congregation which makes up the external church is to build each other and not bigger churches to have more empty seats/seeds
BODY OVER BUILDING
