Last Saturday, I sat in the comforting embrace of a coffee shop that brings to mind the warm, southern charm of my grandmother's home. I'm compelled to share a revelation that has been blossoming within me since then. It's a single, powerful word that embodies our journey at Fruitful Living and our unique “This Place” worship experience: 

Reimagine.

Our dear friend in the ministry, Prophet Tyson McKinney, once tagged us as the “Ministry on Wheels.” Unlike traditional church structures with fixed places of worship, we've embraced change, adaptability, and mobility. We've been led by the Holy Spirit to gather in diverse locations, uniting in faith and fellowship wherever we find ourselves. This coffee shop, with its familiar and comforting ambiance, could potentially be our next “This Place.” 

Reimagine. 

The word itself is a call to action, a call to break free from the constraints of the conventional and to see the divine in the everyday. It's a call to envision new ways of connecting with God and each other, a call to see the beauty and potential in the ordinary and transform it into something extraordinary.

Consider the leaders of the Bible who embodied this spirit of reimagining.

Take Moses, for example. He led the Israelites out of Egypt not through the traditional paths of diplomacy or warfare, but through a journey of faith and trust in God. Moses followed God's leading, even when it meant parting the Red Sea—a feat that seemed impossible. Through his faith and willingness to reimagine what was possible, Moses led his people to freedom.

Or take David, a humble shepherd who was chosen to become a king. David didn't ascend to his position through traditional means. Instead, God saw his potential and chose him to lead His people. David's story teaches us that no matter where we come from or what our circumstances are, we can reimagine our future and be used by God in powerful ways.

Reimagining, then, is not about discarding tradition, but about being open to the possibility that God may be leading us in new and unexpected ways. It's about being willing to follow where He leads, even if it takes us out of our comfort zones. It's about seeing places like this cozy coffee shop not just as a place for a warm drink, but as a potential sanctuary where we can gather to worship and connect with God.                                                           

So, I invite you to join us on this journey of reimagining. Let's step beyond the boundaries of what we know and embrace the adventurous spirit God has instilled in us. Let's reimagine our gatherings, our worship, our community, and our impact. Let's be open to the move of God, wherever and however it may come.

Remember, God does not dwell in buildings made by human hands (Acts 7:48). He dwells within us, and wherever we gather in His name becomes sacred ground. So let's reimagine what "This Place" can be, and watch how God transforms our ordinary into His extraordinary. Stay Tuned!
