TITLE: The Purpose of the Church #1 – Worship

SPEAKER: Dean Sandham

SCRIPTURE PASSAGE: Ephesians 5:8-20

SERIES: Being Christ’s Church

These next three weeks we’re looking at the three different purposes of the Church. Starting with “Worship”: let’s consider that we have been created to worship God and so what does that look like in the entirety of our lives?

In this 10 week sermon series, we are goin to take an indepth look at being a Biblical Church.  Knowing our Identity as Christ’s Church is fundamental for the Christian, because our lives are designed to be lived in community.  Jesus has saved us not just as individuals but as ‘His people, a Holy Nation’ and we only truly find our identity as a believer when we find our identity in the Church.
