February 1, 2026 - Jesus Turns Strangers Into Family - Dr. Nathan Millican

In this message, Pastor Nate returns to the book of Ephesians, specifically focusing on chapter 2:11-22, to explore the transformative truth that Jesus changes strangers into family. Grounded in a "theology of remembrance," Nate discusses how the Apostle Paul calls believers to look back at who they once were—separated from Christ, without hope, and alienated from God—to rightly value the peace that has been established through the blood of Christ. The sermon highlights how Jesus broke down the "dividing wall of hostility," providing direct access to the Father for everyone, regardless of their past. Nate challenges listeners to move beyond "professional Christianity" and legalism by running to the finished work of Jesus, which invites us into a new identity as citizens of God's kingdom, members of His family, and a temple for His Spirit. Whether you need to recalibrate your heart or surrender to Christ for the first time, this message is a powerful reminder that peace is not something we manufacture, but a reality we receive through Jesus.
