Community and Connection in the Church

Over the last wee while we've been looking at the whole idea of community and connection, particularly how we can use community to be relevant to a lost and dying world.

To me, community is all about connection between people, the links that bind people together. Sometimes we get so busy doing church, that we forget to do life together, and it's clear in the New Testament in particular, that doing life together was an integral and inextricable part of what being part of a church meant.

We have to be relevant to the communities in which we are a part of and who we serve. If not, then we are just a historical institution, far outdated, and a far cry from the early church (See the end of Acts 2 for more information).

The local church is the hope of the world.
If it's not going to be us that's relevant, then who?

Anyways, here's the latest podcast episode - I really hope you get something out of it. Oh, and BTW, some of these guys have not really spoken in a public environment like podcasting can be before, so full respect. As for me, I'm still learning how to do this well, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
