We look at the image of a church as the ‘bride’, beloved and beckoned by God. As we collectively live out our identity as the ‘bride’ of Christ, how might this love overflow to those around us, and how might we beckon others to ‘Come!’ and drink the water of life?

We reflect on how the church is, and always has been, on mission. How can we be engaged in God’s mission now, cultivating a radical love for those around us?

We consider how the church is described as a priesthood in 1 Peter 2:9, and how this means we have connection, commission and community.

Candace leads us to consider how the church is, and can further be, a reflection of God's love.

Andrew prompts us to reflect on the church as ‘one body’ as described in 1 Corinthians 12.

Brent introduces the person and work of the Holy Spirit who equips and empowers the church beyond our own human strength, with some examples of how the Holy Spirit might work beyond our own intellect and capabilities today.

Brent explores the Church as a ‘temple’; a dwelling place for God, in which we are being built together with Jesus Christ as our cornerstone.

Jill leads us to reflect on how church is ‘family’, in which we have a common father, a common identity, and brothers and sisters.

We kick of our series 'Church Is...', and Brent looks at Jesus conversation with Peter in Matthew 16.
