Sermon Series August 17th to August 31st
Why Church?
Welcome to our new sermon series, “Why Church?” as we explore the Biblical vision of church, together. We’re taking an honest look from a number of angles and, like Daniel’s love and self-identification with his people even in their guilt and failure, we’re going to see church as more than what we sometimes advertise it to be.
What is church to you? What advertisements have you seen?
Maybe instead of defining these as the church, we can see that these as a sign, evidence of it’s presence active and engaged in a place. Not all of these happen when the church is at work shining a light, but some of these things are often found. The church often finds place, like our place in this gym, a physical beacon of sanctuary, activity and invitation in a real neighbourhood, for good.
Go Deeper: Resources
Our intention is to create or share resources to help people explore these topics in further depth. Here are a few resources you might find meaningful during this sermon series.

Why Church?
The work of God’s people was unique to that time and place, but an example for us. While they were waiting to go home, they made a home where they are, together. God’s people were to organize as a community, work together to carry on rhythms of worship and learning, all while working to serve, love, and bless, even in a foreign land, homeless or not, together or spread apart.
