Chasing Jesus: Ephesians 3:14-21; John 6:1-21

We employ human terms to communicate who God is to one another. But God uses not only words, pictures and images, but Jesus, the Word become flesh and dwelling among us. We look for ways to express who God is, and here God is among us in Jesus Christ, feeding, forgiving, healing and reconciling.

We were aliens: Ephesians 2:11-22; Mark 6:30-34, 53-56

If the Ephesians forget who they were, they will presume God owes them something.
