| What is The Church? (9) God’s Vision for His Church – A Participating Church

1 Corinthians 12 v.27-31

| Sermon by Revd. Ian Pallent at St. Ouen’s Parish Church, Jersey (8.30am service)

As we adjust and (hopefully) continue to move out of Covid, this series has been looking at emerging questions of ‘what is church’ and ‘what it means to be church.’ God’s Vision for His Church is to be:

1. A Devoted Church
2. A Caring Church
3. A Worshipping Church
4. An Evangelising Church
5. A Learning Church
6. A Team Church
7. A Church of Compassion and Justice
8. A United Church
9. A Participating Church

Today’s sermon is about YOU – God’s Vision for His church to be a Participating Church.

“As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace.”

1 Peter 4 v.10
