The Church – The Body of Christ (Ephesians 1:22-23)

While we know that the Church is called the “Body of Christ” many people don’t know what that actually means and how we, as believers, are to practically live in light of this amazing reality.

In Ephesians 1:22-23, Paul declares that Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, which is His body. In this episode, Nathan Johnson examines three key aspects of what it means for Christians to be the body of Christ and exhorts us to live in light of this incredible reality.
