Ideal Church vs. Early Church

In class we looked at the way that the Early Church thought of what a church should be vs. what we think that church should be. In comparing the two we saw a huge gap. The early Church wanted community and fellowship as well as to pursue their mission for Christ here on earth, while we thought we should have food and comfy chairs as well as short sermons for church.
I think that this shows us how our ideas of what church is and what it means to be a follower of Christ have changed. That something that started out so good has drifted to this point, where even the most dedicated are often led astray by pursuing and teaching knowledge instead of love or things instead of people.
