The Church Body: Unity in Diversity

The sermon was meant to be an encouraging exhortation to the local church as coronavirus was waning and on a New Member Sunday, using the theme of "unity in diversity" from the whole of 1 Corinthians 12. The theme could be stated more wordily as "How the Spirit of God uses Diversity for the Singular Purpose of Edifying and Forming the Body of Christ for the Glory of Christ."
