1 Corinthians 1:23 (NIV2011)
23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,

The Church
At the start of a new year I always find myself asking God what I should preach about to kick the year off. What does the Naringal church need to hear as we prepare for 2015? Obviously this year will see a new church building go up, so what spiritual implications does that present for us, what are the challenges and opportunities that await us?
In my personal devotions I’m reading the book of Ephesians, and the following verse from “The Message” felt like it jumped off the page and hit me in the face:
