Live to Party

Live to Party! What a concept. Of all the metaphors Jesus uses to describe the kingdom - hidden treasure, a precious pearl, a tiny seed, yeast - my favorite is the kingdom as a party as He taught in Luke 14. When you think of the kingdom, of church, do you immediately think about a party? Do you have a sense of urgency to invite others to the party? Do you ever find yourself at the party only to be constantly complaining about the menu? You know what I mean, the worship menu, the small group menu, the children's menu or even the teaching menu? What can we do to be the purple cow we spoke about? How can we avoid being invisible as a church and instead be remarkable?

I keep hanging on the phrase you shared from the Purple Cow Book, "Be remarkable or be invisible. What a cool motto for life."

Seth Godin's book, The Purple Cow, is a must read for anyone who is in a position of leadership or influence! As you said, we are either invisible - individually and corporately - or we are remarkable. I believe that we are remarkable! It's time to get the word out!
