Sermon Introduction –
It is time to hear some different Bible stories! Normally our readings for Sunday come from the church calendar, but for the rest of August, we are going to be looking at stories that don’t appear on this list. It is possible you have never heard these readings in church before. We’ll begin with an odd one: Jesus finding money inside of a fish. Join us to learn more.
Introduction to this week’s readings –
Jesus says that the bread he gives for the life of the world is his flesh, and whoever eats this bread has eternal life now and will be raised on the last day. In Ephesians Paul tells us what this life Jesus gives us looks like, this life we live as those marked with the seal of the Holy Spirit in baptism. We live in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us. The whole purpose of life is giving yourself for the other.
