Good Friday Sermon

Polity deals with the important question of how we as Christians should organize our lives together in local churches. In this three-part series, “Polity,” we’ll look at Scripture to understand how the ordinances (baptism and the Lord’s Supper) are signs of membership and mutual commitment to one another, what the officers (elders and deacons) are to be and do, and how authority is to be exercised for decision-making in the local church.

An important way to be on the right track towards our theme this year to "Rediscover Church" is to learn directly from Jesus.  We rediscover who we are as Christ's church gathered and scattered by rediscovering who Jesus is: his life, teaching, values, and relationships that culminated in his crucifixion and resurrection. So in this series, "Rediscover Jesus," we will study the Gospel of Luke from chapters 4-9, which record the Lord's public ministry in the area of Galilee. For Christians, this will be a great way to learn directly from Jesus about what it means to be his disciples living together as a church.  For others- like former church-goers, people from other religions, or non-religious people- this will be a great way to discover Jesus for the first time.
