Mark Cork has an interesting post: From Consumer Church To …?

My friend recently preached a sermon series on being a SENT church. Since his people are used to coming to church for supplies the whole idea of the church being a sending station, a missional organization created for sending rather than consuming, was a foreign concept. He said that many weeks as he spoke he looked out at blank stares. For him this became more an indication of the need than a source of discouragement. I applaud his bold vision and his commitment to redefining church.
