Church at its Best

One way to describe what the church is all about is that it is about fullness of life after Jesus' statement in John 10:10 'I have come that they may have life and have it to the full'. This must include fullness of life with God, fullness of life with each other, and fullness of life through our interaction with and impact on the wider world. It is an interesting exercise to rate ourselves in each of these areas, say 0-10 (not allowed to pick 5!!).

Which area are you strongest in?
Which area are you weakest in?
Which areas have you grown in in the last two months?

Often we can be strong in two of the areas but if we are missing out on one of the areas our Christian life can become a bit flat, a bit two dimensional (as Mike Breen would say).

For those who listened to my sermon on 2nd December - how are you going with your active listening skills listening to Jesus?
