“God made known to us the mystery of his will … to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.”
The spring 2025 sermon series
During 2024 Christ Church grew fast. Most Sundays now ¾ of the congregation have been members of the church for less than a year. We come from a wide range of backgrounds, nationalities, personalities and opinions. My prayer for 2025 is not that we grow larger, but that we grow closer – becoming a loving family able to discuss and understand our differences with grace.
This kind of unity across difference is only possible because we have Jesus Christ in common. Our connection to him connects us to one-another more deeply than background, nationality, personality or opinion.
And this is the central message of Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church. I pray that as we let God’s Word in this letter teach us, we will really grow to treasure what he is doing here at Christ Church.
