There sometimes seem to be as many different opinions about what Christ Church should be like as there are members of it! Particularly at six30 @ ccnm! One possibility is that God will reveal the way in which all these perspectives can somehow be reconciled. Another is that he will reveal more of his vision for what the church should be like and we become obedient to this. During this series we will use Paul’s letter to the Ephesians to seek to grasp more of God’s vision for the church. Within this letter (probably sent to a wider group of churches than just the one at Ephesus), crucial themes concerning the church are unpacked. These include the Church’s purpose within God’s overall plan of salvation, the vital nature of its oneness and the radically different way of living that its members are called to in the light of this. Much of the challenge to Christ Church lies in us being clearer about the first two of these which will then help us to make much greater sense of the third.
