#276 - Jesus and wineskins
Returning after brain surgery to fix his facial spasm, Lynn Green digs into Jesus's wineskin metaphor from Matthew 9 and asks what "new wineskin" the current revival actually needs. Looking back at the Jesus Movement of the 1970s — and forward to the explosive underground growth of the church in China and Iran — he makes the case that congregational Sunday services alone won't sustain this generation, and that small groups and deep fellowship are the real container this move of God requires.
