Jesus Manifesto - Read it

I just started reading this book on my Kindle. Get it. Read it.
Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola write:

"Three features are present in every awakening in the history of the Christian church:

1. a rediscovery of the "living Word," or the Scriptures and its authority;
2. a rediscovery of the living Christ and His Supremacy; and
3. a rediscovery of the living Spirit and the Spirit's gifts and power to manifest Christ in the context of that culture.

"God has a history of taking seriously people who take the eternal Word seriously."

Preached a sermon this past Sunday where I shared with the congregation that the four pillars of vital congregations are:

1. the church is unabashedly Christocentric
2. the church is obedient to God's Word
3. the church is missionally focused
4. the church is undergirded by prayer

These are describing the church we want to become at The Little Church on the Prairie. I pray that this describes your church as well.
