This booklet offers 14 sermon outlines and two sample sermons on different aspects of the church, from the origins of the church in the Old Testament via leadership, gifts, community, sacraments, mission, through to the church’s destiny. The series can be preached in sequence or as an occasional series, or used as a Lenten study outline.
