Wednesday Reflection Week 6

Synagogue 3000 is the emerging movement of the Jewish community. There are a lot of similarities with the Emerging church movement that seeks to be relevant to its community and its culture. The question some times boils down to “how do we keep the young people?” But as mentioned in the lecture, that is not the core question for the people in the emerging movement. It is more like “how do we become the true church of Christ?” I see a value in the emerging movement in that it is not only a movement to keep the young people in the church but to seek the heart of Jesus Christ for His church. Because once the church becomes the true church of God (I am not implying there is “one” way to do it, I believe this could take many forms) then the issue of young people and generational gap will not a big problem since I believe God will be at work with every generation. This idea truly challenges me with the idea of my church planting project. I pray that God will show us His vision for our church and that all members will be able to seek the heart of Jesus as He has sought us.
