Message: “A Patchwork Church” from Brian Richardson

The Church is a patchwork of different preferences, styles, and personalities. Each patch, or pattern, or block, is stitched together by God into this body, but apart from Christ, we are unable to see the beauty in what God brings together. The good news is, our quilt is not yet finished, as God takes our offerings and stitches a tapestry of ministry and mission together.

Scripture References: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27

From Series: "Stitches"

A "stitch" is both a thing and an action. We are stitched together by what we experience, what we are given, by who we are, and by whose we are. As a church, we are stitched together by our beliefs, and by what inspires us. But ultimately, as the Holy Spirit works in and out of us, holiness shows through our lives as we pursue God's vision and purpose. He is the thread--the stitch (noun) and the one who does the stitching (verb)--pulling together, holding together, and uniting.
