More Than Meets The Eye, part 2: The Thickest Blood
Blood is thicker than water, the saying goes. Jesus, however, defines His family as those who do God’s will. There is one Spirit, one faith, one baptism, and no division in God’s family. We are ushered into the family of God through the waters of baptism into the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. The thickest blood, it turns out, is the blood of Jesus, which covers us with Jesus, who did God’s will.
From Series: " More Than Meets the Eye "
This 6-week series follows the Pentecost lectionary schedule, beginning with the first Sunday after Pentecost, Trinity Sunday. In learning about the growth of the kingdom, we are presented with a view of God’s work, much of which is unseen. From the small beginnings, to the workings of growth, and from the movement of the Spirit, to God invisibly working through visible people, there is much more going on than meets the eye. During the Pentecost I series, both the Gospel and the Epistle (mostly from Mark and 2 Corinthians) are emphasized by the theme for the day, so they are both highlighted.
