This sermon kicks off a short sermon series based on the bishop’s 5 strategic pointers to inspire churches in the diocese to grow and develop in effectiveness in bringing God’s Kingdom to our world.

The five pointers are:

1.      Sustaining the sacred centre

2.      Making disciples

3.      Making a difference in society

4.      Creating vibrant Christian communities

5.      Shaping confident, collaborative leadership.

Now the bishop has been at pains to make it clear that he is not trying to tell us what to do – or how to do it but is offering us some material to stimulate our thinking together as a church community.
