A Home Renovation (2026-02-15, Greg Lanier, Ephesians 2:11-22)
from River Oaks Church Sermons · host River Oaks Church
A sermon on Christ's work demolishing the dividing wall of hostility and building the church, by Rev. Greg Lanier. What are some examples in both OT and NT of the “dividing wall of hostility” between Gentiles and Jews/Israel? Why is motivating Paul to address this? Why is it important to think through the corporate (“we”) aspect of Christ’s work and not limit it to the individual (“I”)? Revisit the ways in which Christ tore down the division between Jew and Gentile. Then reflect on ways in your own life or community you can see him doing the same. What sorts of dividing walls still exist, and how does the work of Christ address them? Reflect on this (summary) statement from the sermon. “The church founded by Jesus is the most staggering social experiment of all time: a community that is not based on any external things (talent, money, nation, vocation, social status) and only on faith in Christ.” What sort of “dividing walls” could threaten the peace/unity of River Oaks Church? How can you proactively seek to foster unity on the sole foundation of Christ?
