Are You Living Like a Prisoner or an Heir? | 28/6/28

What happens when a barrier that once excluded you is torn down completely? In this episode, Pastor Mark unpacks Ephesians 3:1–13, exploring the mystery the Apostle Paul says has now been revealed: that Gentiles — once "without hope and without God" — are made co-heirs, members of the same body, and partners in the promise of Christ. Mark unpacks grace through a simple acronym: God's Riches At Christ's Expense, reminding us it can't be earned, bought, or achieved through effort. Along the way, he shares the moving true story of two girls, whose friendship across cultures beautifully illustrates what it means to be the people of God together. The episode also tackles suffering as a normal part of the Christian life, warns against the cynicism of our age, and makes a compelling case for why we were never meant to walk out our faith alone — but in community, in life groups, encouraging one another as we discover what God is doing in the world and in the heavenly realms. flbc.org.au
