Have you ever tried to picture what the perfect church would look like? Whatever picture you have in your head, the chances are, we currently fall short of that ideal. And I hate to break it to you, but there is a high probability that our church will never be picture perfect. However, this does not mean that all hope is lost. While we will never be a perfect church, we can still grow to become a healthy church.

In today’s sermon, we see that healthy churches are active ambassadors for Christ. As Christians, we are new creations in Christ, as Jesus has reconciled us to Him at the cost of His life. He not only reconciled us to Him, but also called us to be His ambassadors who will bring the Gospel to those who do not yet know Jesus. His promise is that whenever we share the good news to many, He will work through us to bring about salvation and new life in some.
