Today's idea of Church is a routine service of a few songs, announcements, a plea for money, and a forty-five minute sermon. Motivated by a deep hunger for more of God, millions of Christians are leaving the traditional church to look for more freedom and fulfillment. The First Church was a Church established on relationship. People gathered for open-ended, deep worship flowing with the Holy Spirit. They had relatable Scriptural study and discussion in which they all participated, and created strong bonds of fellowship. Return of the First Church offers scriptural and balanced answers tempered by real life experiences on how to move from a traditional, routine church structure into meetings that allow God to set the agenda and needs are met.
