The Recognition of Christ by the Apostle Nathaniel. Coptic icon, uncredited
“The next day, Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, ‘Follow me.’ Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.’ Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’ When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said of him, ‘Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!’ Nathanael asked him, ‘Where did you come to know me?’ Jesus answered, ‘I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.’ Nathanael replied, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.’ And he said to him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’”
~John 1:43-51
This week in our service, we will take a look at God’s Kingdom.
We often hear about the Kingdom, but we have questions: Where does it exist? Who makes it happen?
We often hear about the Kingdom, but we have questions: Where does it exist? Who makes it happen?
As with so many things, the answer is both very simple, and very complex. The Kingdom is not some far off place or environment that we will become part of one day. It is us – the followers of Christ – who bring the kingdom to life in this world. It is us sharing the love of God and changing the world one small piece at a time. Join us as we look at how we can do this.
Organ preludes will begin around 10:25 a.m. and the service will commence at 10:30 a.m. The link for this morning’s service is: https://youtube.com/live/UnqQWwpc8HI?feature=share
