A Biblical Worldview: Identity
July 18th, 2021

No Us and Them in Christ
July 18th, 2021
The Rev. Nick Lannon preaches a sermon on Ephesians 2 (in which Paul says that Jesus brings peace both to those who are far off and those who are near) and Mark 6 (in which Jesus regards a crowd as sheep without a shepherd). Everyone is the same: first as sinners in need of redemption, and then as new creations in Christ. There is no "us" and "them."
