Sermons About Perfection
Is there a perfect Church?
The Church on Earth comprises people like you and me; imperfect, striving to be more like Jesus, some more than others. This earthly Church cannot be perfect. But we know that as Christians, we already belong to the invisible perfect Church that is comprised of all those whose names are written in the Book of Life and which will become visible on the Day of the Lord. The labels and styles with which we differentiate our earthly churches do not matter in the eternity of the one perfect Church. Our key task is to realise what life will be like in perfection and to make sure that our lives are moving towards Jesus, not away from Him. We must ask not what the Church can do for us, but what we can do for the Church.

The Hope of Perfection
