Christ is our life.
This is the main theme of John’s Gospel account. It is seen clearly in the story of Jesus feeding the five thousand, and his teaching that follows in chapter six. Jesus gives bread to the crowd and then states that he is the bread of life. He meets their most basic physical need to live, and then shows them their most basic need to experience true life.
Bread is the most basic life source for people across the world. Likewise, Christ is the most basic source of true life.
This Sunday we have the honor of hearing Rev. Josh Eby continue our Epiphany sermon series through the Gospel of John, preaching on chapter six. Rev. Eby was a missionary in Peru that Redeemer supported for years, and he is currently the Founder and Executive Director of Vida House in Austin, Texas. Vida House exists to train ministry leaders in and for cross-cultural mission in life-giving ways. Rev. Eby also currently works for Redeemer as a consultant, to help the Pastoral Search Committee and Session during our search for our next Senior Pastor.
Prior to the sermon, I am excited that one of the members of the Pastoral Search Committee (PSC) will come forward to give an update on all the work the PSC has done over the past month, and will give an overview of the next few months.
I look forward to worshiping with you this Sunday!
Pastor Adam
