This Labor Day weekend, I will begin the first sermon series of the fall, "If We Are the Body..." which explores the great description of Paul for the church -- the body of Christ. I hope to explore this image in several ways over the next few weeks, first by focusing on Paul's fullest description of it from 1 Corinthians 12 and then moving to other important New Testament passages.
This Sunday, we'll focus on the beginning of the passage, which speaks of one Spirit and one baptism. Where does our unity as Christians come from? What does it mean to become part of "the body of Christ"?
While some people may use the long holiday weekend to travel, I hope that many of us will gather for worship at Eastgate.
