An Appealing Church?

WHAT MAKES YOUR CHURCH APPEALING?

     Good music?

     Comfortable for outsiders?

     A traditional service?

     People who look like you?

     Authenticity?

 

HOW ABOUT GOING FOR A SUPERNATURAL APPEAL, SOMETHING LIKE...

     a group of pardoned rebels
     from multiple ethnicities and classes
     whom God embraces
     and refashions in his Son's image
     --holy, loving, united--
     with his own Spirit
     before an onlooking universe
     as the display of his glory?
