The Church of God

In my sermon on Sunday I finished up with a quote from Bill Hybels in his book Courageous Leadership where he talks about the local church being the hope of the world.

‘I believe that the local church is the hope of the world. I believe to the core of my being that local churches have the potential to be the most influential forces on planet earth. If they get it and get on with it, churches can become the redemptive centers that Jesus intended them to be. Dynamic teaching, creative worship, deep community, effective evangelism and joyful service will combine to strengthen families, transform communities and change the world.’
