Nancy DeMas Walgamuth reminds us that the church is a body.

The church is not an institution.

It is not an organization.

It is a living organism with a head connected to the body.

This is the Reviver Hearts podcast with Nancy DeMoss Walgall. Author of Adorned. For March 31st,

2022, I'm Dana Gresh. What difference does it make to you and to me that Jesus is our head?

Nancy will explain today.

For the last few weeks, we've been in the series, The Wonder of His Name, 32,

life-changing names of Jesus.

at Jesus as the head, the head over all things and the head of his church. Let me invite you,

if you have your Bible, to turn to the book of

Ephesians chapter 1. We're going to spend some time today in Ephesians and also in

Colossians. So you'll want to find those if you can. Ephesians chapter 1 is where we're starting.

And let me read a few verses beginning in verse 20. This matter of the headship of Jesus is so important,

and it was very important to the Apostle Paul, so he writes about it quite a bit, particularly in

these two epistles. Ephesians 1, verse 20, it's picking up in the midst of a long sentence,

like only the Apostle Paul can write. But he talks about how God

raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all

rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named.
