Ephesians, Part 4 / Grace-Filled Community / Ephesians 2:11-22 Pastor Jared Johnson

June 7, 2026 Division comes naturally. We build walls between people based on politics, culture, values, backgrounds, and even our preferences within the church. Yet Ephesians 2 reveals that Jesus came to do the exact opposite. Through His death and resurrection, He tears down the walls that separate us and creates one new family united by grace. In Christ, outsiders become family, enemies become neighbors, and the church becomes a living picture of God's reconciling love. The question is not whether Jesus has torn down the walls—the question is whether we will live like they are truly gone. About this Sermon Series God has always had a plan. The book of Ephesians reveals the incredible story of God’s plan to bring salvation to all people through Jesus Christ and unite them into one family. In this 13-week series, we’ll discover what it means to live with purpose as people who have been chosen, redeemed, and called by God. Along the way, we’ll explore how the Holy Spirit transforms our everyday relationships—with family, friends, the Church, and the world around us. Ephesians is an invitation to step into God’s greater story and live the kind of life we were created for.
