All Things New Part: 2

 • Derek Harvey

What is the church really, and can it exist without you in the room? Tracing the Greek word ekklesia ("called out ones") and the history of how God's presence moved from a temple to a people, this message argues that church was never about content delivery you can stream from your couch, but about embodied presence—two nervous systems breathing the same air, spurring one another on. Anchored in Hebrews 10:24-25 and Ephesians 2:22, it calls us to show up as an act of theology, engage our bodies and not just our attention, and bring someone back into the room, because the temple only gets built when we are present.
