Church can be spiritual
Being involved in church plants I have had this conversation a few hundred times:
Some dude: What kind of teaching do you guys do?
Me: Usually someone talks
Some dude: I meant like, teaching style
Me: Well, we teach stuff out of the Bible
Some dude: Do you go verse by verse or is it topical
Me: Those are my only choices?
Some dude: What else is there?
Me: How about how Jesus taught?
Some dude: How’s that?
Me: Spiritual
Some dude: confused look
Have we pigeonholed churches so much that we can only pick from two teaching styles? On the one side you have the expository thing. And the other side of things is the performance style teaching. One feels like a classroom and the other feels like an episode of Yo Gabba Gabba…without the break beats.
