Pastor Leonard continues our series The Return with a powerful message exploring Jesus’ vision for His church. In Christ’s Vision for His Church, we’re reminded that the church is not built around our preferences or comfort, but around the revelation that Jesus is the Christ—the One who tears down walls, makes strangers into family, and forms a people where His presence dwells. As Christ becomes our peace, we are invited to become the kind of people Jesus can build His beautiful, flourishing church with.   Be sure to reference the Sermon Reflection Guide linked below to go deeper and continue the conversation throughout the week.
