“When God wanted to bring the incredible message about new life through His Son’s death and resurrection to the world, He didn’t create a program, build a structure, or start a country. He used a group of people. Though these people were different from each other and were each flawed, what joined them together was that they had been changed by Jesus." I wrote these words when I first came to Orchard in 2011 in order to have something to put on our website to explain to people what Orchard is all about. All these years later I stand by these words. This sermon series looks at the importance of the local church in God's plan of salvation. I pray these sermons help us to see what the church is, what we are to do, how we are to do it, and how local church membership fits into this mission.
