Episode Details

Pastor Ruth shares with us this morning, picking up our "Living Stones" series by speaking on 1 Peter, and how God is building us into a spiritual house as living stones.

1.  Our desire to build, to create, is part of being human. It is imbedded into our creation to be co-creators with God. We see it in music and art as well. Creating for the glory of God.  Where do you see evidence of this in your life?
2.What are we, individually and collectively, building? What does a spiritual house look like?
3. When people look at us and our church are their eyes moved upwards? Are they seeing the divine around them?
4. “The church seeks to be a place clearly visible to the world in which people are faithful to their promises, love their enemies, tell the truth, honour the poor, suffer for righteousness, and thereby testify to the amazing community-creating power of God. The church knows that its most credible form of witness (and the most “effective” thing it can do for the world) is the actual creation of a living, breathing visible community of faith.”  Resident Alien by Hauerwas and Willimon
Is this how you see the church? Is the church fulfilling this call?
