This week, to kick off our September Sermon Series: Bibilical Images of Church and Community, John shared with us a meditation on what it meant to be the community of God – or, as the biblical picture depicts us, “the Body of Christ.”
John shared many interesting insights – interspersed with his own personal stories – about what it meant to be a community: that we are defined by the fruits that we bear, rather than the seed we are sown from. It is thus important for us to not just be hearers of the Word but also doers of the Word.
In so doing, we truly live and reflect what it means to be the Body of Christ.
