We begin our “How to _____ Church” sermon series, a journey through what it means to be the church in a season of transition and to faithfully step into what God is doing next. In John 12:24–25, Jesus tells us that a grain of wheat must fall to the ground and die in order to bear fruit. In this first sermon titled: How to Kill a Church, we explore the difficult but hopeful truth that sometimes new life requires letting go—trusting that God is not finished with us, but is continually making all things new.
