The Living Organism of Church

As you may know my wife and I have been moving in this area of simple organic church for a while now and are continuing to discover the amazing freedoms of being part of this emerging form of church, that truly is a striving to be a reincarnation of the 1st century churches. As I read the bible with a mindset of simple church all of these stereotypical church things become archaic, church in the early days was not lead by one or two people it was a community of people bringing their God experiences to the table to share with everyone, and Church was a place of predominantly firm believers encouraging one-another you do not find them going to church or church services in the new testament because these ideas were developed long after Christ death, early Christians lived breathed and died their faith "church" was a simple gathering of believers sharing with one-another and the evangelism of early church took place naturally in relationship and peoples communities. Don't get me wrong the early church was not perfect just look at 1st Corinthians but what it was a living organism free of hierarchy, and intellectually trained individuals leading the masses it let God be the true head of the church while allowing the Holy Spirit the freedom to show up in a mighty way so I wonder what would happen if we got out of the way and allowed God to do His thing as a living organism "church"
