Lost in Wonder: Five Day Bible Plan With Steve MorrisSample

Day Five: Wonder and Church

Reflect:

The Bible uses a beautiful image for the wonder of the church – the church is the bride of Christ. When I was in NYC I came across a little church that filled me with wonder. It is known as The Little Church Around the Corner.

‘Where might you find a little burst of wonder amid the scale and bustle of mid-town Manhattan? The obvious answer is in the extraordinary landscape here – the canyons and the cliffs of steel and glass. It truly is one of those places that is exactly what you want it to be.

‘But on a rainy day, with the world rushing by, it is easy to be beaten back by the noise and clamour. If you are ever passing this way, I recommend that you do as I did and spend a while at an extraordinary little church that offers a radical alternative to the world as it is.’ (Steve Morris, Lost in Wonder [Milton Keynes: Authentic Media, 2021] p.99).

Prayer: 

Father thank you for your precious church. Help us to build it into a place of love and wonderment. Let your precious church be a light to inspire all who are lost and lonely.
