In this message based in Ephesians, Pastor Daniel explores some of the features and values of what it means to be Christ’s body here on earth. This is the part of the series where we notice just how ODD the church of Jesus Christ is. In that there are Obvious Distinguishable Differences about Christ’s community.
Stanley Hauerwas once described the church’s oddness in this way, “the Church does not exist to provide an ethos for democracy or any other form of social organization, but stands as a political alternative to every nation, witnessing to the kind of social possible for those who have been formed by the story of Christ.”
It’s Christ’s life, death and resurrection that reframes how we look at all of life. So, not only do we have different vision for what constitutes a “good life” we have an entirely different vision for the trajectory of the world.
In this message we are invited to explore what it might mean for the church to be a sign of the coming kingdom.
