This sermon:

The Body of Christ

No 6 in the series on The Bible book of Ephesians

You would think that the body of Christ refers to his dead body either in the grave or before burial. But this is not what Paul meant when he wrote the Bible book of Ephesians. Paul is referring to God’s followers, who are the body of Christ, that is, the group of all believers in Jesus Christ, of which he is the head, the supreme leader. Campbell goes through this short passage and helps us to focus on the true meaning and where we need to focus. Then he asks the congregation what they see as the application of this passage in their lives and in the church. In other words, what is this telling us and what should we do about it? What does God want us to get out of his words, written by Paul, and what does he want us to give back in caring loving support of others?
