The Church: Perfectly Imperfect
The church is not a collection of individuals who happen to share a Sunday morning. Through Christ's blood, God has created a single new people, united across every cultural and moral divide, adopted into His family, and indwelt by His Spirit. Across eight sermons, this series works through what the church actually is and what it calls us to: patient, self-giving love for one another; active pursuit of holiness; faithful use of the spiritual gifts every believer has been given; gathered worship where Christ Himself leads our praise; the rhythms of Sabbath rest; and a contentment that makes generosity possible. The journey ends with the reminder that all of it, every gift, every act of service, every Sunday gathered together, is caught up in a mission bigger than any one of us: making worshippers until the day mission gives way to eternal praise.
God has created a new people with a radically new identity. Through Christ's blood, former strangers become family, fellow citizens, and the very dwelling place of God's Spirit.
The church does not need more eloquent preachers, knowledgeable teachers, or disciplined followers. Above all else, it needs believers who love one another with patient, humble, self-giving love.
The church exists to bring people into the joyful, eternal relationship of the Trinity. Every act of service, every conversation about faith, contributes to this mission of making worshippers.
When the church gathers, Jesus Christ stands at the centre of our praise, perfecting our faltering worship and presenting us as family before God the Father.
Christians are called to actively put sin to death so they can experience the fullness of life God intends for them right now.
