The Church Universal / Covenant Renewal

Covenant Renewal from The Village Church on Vimeo.

Matt Chandler From The Village Church. Put out this video on Covenant Renewal. In it he makes some AMAZING points. Taking the bible, the scriptures and really getting down and dirty with it. I love that, I love really just getting into the bible. Taking a book, a chapter or even just a verse, and dissecting it. Finding out everything I can about it. We live in a digital age, with so much information and resources at our fingertips. To be honest, I know God put me on this earth in this time period knowing who I was. Knowing who I would become. and that BLOWS MY MIND. It really does. 

In my daily reading of blogs. I friend of mine Jason Bedell who recently became the new Lead Pastor at Forefront in Va Beach, VA. Jason said something that really caught my attention. He was talking about APPLE INC. He said this 

"The company shifted from trying to do multiple things on an average level- to a few things on a stellar level. And it worked. Big time." 

He used Apple's example to set a course for the church. I find that I myself get caught up in doing everything "Average" instead of a few things "stellar." And church's do this ALL THE TIME, even though they have a nice sound system, lighting, backdrops, video. The service itself is still "average or relatively forgettable." I feel as though I may be on that path right now. So I started thinking what would I want the church to do stellar? And this is what I came up with.
