The
Church of
"No
Steeple, Just People" Could we please be One Body now? |
|

We have a dream: Wouldn't it be great if Christians from all over town could have a place where they could just come and worship and praise and pray together without walls or divisions or structure? Wouldn't it be great if the "world" saw us actually BEING One Body out in public? What if everybody in town knew that they could just turn off the TV and go to the park any night of the week and SOMEBODY would be there preaching Jesus or worshipping? Are you really free? Do you need a "Spiritual Tuneup"? How well are you hearing God? We can help you hear Him REALLY good ALL the time. For real. That's the way it's supposed to be.

you are interested in helping or being notified about it, please

Couldn't
we all just pray together? II Chron. 7:14 says, "If My people
who are called by My Name will humble themselves and pray, then I
will heal their land." |

Would everyone that loves Jesus Christ more than their denomination, PLEASE take one step forward?!
Then
maybe we can drop all the stupid arguments,
hit
our knees together and see what HE wants us to do next.
(HINT:
It probably has something to do with caring about others more than ourselves.)
We believe that "Liberty" is the word on God's heart at the moment and what we're learning here has application everywhere. We hope you will find lots of resources that will help you in your walk with Christ - and maybe even to help you reassert the Church of Your Town.
"It
is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then,
and
do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery."
Galatians 5:1
The "Church of Excelsior Springs" (Missouri) has always existed, it is the body of believers that are truly and completely sold out to Christ and willing to walk in His ways. It's just that this invisible Body has been sliced up into hundreds of little chunks spread out all over town. And not just in the institutional churches, there are probably tons of folks at home by themselves who love Jesus but are completely disillusioned with the "system" we've built.
Maybe it's time to do it the way Jesus wanted it done. Yeah, that'd be nice.
'Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.' James 3:13-18
"You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love." Galatians 5:4-7
"The entire law is summed up in a single command: Love your neighbor as yourself. If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other." Galatians 5:14-15
We're going to preach only JESUS and Him crucified. He is the only answer. Everything else is going to burn off in the fire - so maybe we ought to go ahead and lay it down now.
We
are NOT a new "church". We are the Body of Christ in Excelsior.
We're
just finally taking a stand as One Body, that's all.
No
big deal. I mean, what could happen? We're just one
little town ...
