My first followers were Jewish and assumed that the gospel of the Kingdom was for the Jews, but my plan was to open the door to whosoever would come. They were familiar with Jewish practices, but I told them that new wine would require new wineskins.
The forms and rituals and organization of the church are different from those of the synagogue and temple. The container must be appropriate for its contents. Behold I do a new thing and continue to do a new thing. The church today looks different from its inception. Are you willing to consider changing your structure and format of worship? I continue to serve new wine. If you want to drink it you must be willing to drink from a new wineskin.
