On Sunday, we experienced a moving worship service on a beautiful autumn morning. We recognized our Sunday School teachers and we enjoyed a wonderful song from the choir, among the other music.
We also continued our sermon series, "If We Are the Body...", turning our attention specifically to Jesus' place within the body of Christ. After talking about Paul's description of Jesus as the head of the body of Christ -- where other Christians are hands, feet, etc. -- we turned to his treatment of the issue in Ephesians 5, where he compares the relationship between Christ and Christians to marriage. I suggested that this was an effort to suggest a more elevated role for Christian believers -- that our relationship with Christ elevates us above mere servants or slaves. This is possible only through love, as Paul highlights.
If you missed Sunday's sermon, if you'd like to hear it again, or if you'd like to share it with someone else, you can find an audio recording here.
