Once Dead, Now Alive in Christ | Ephesians 2:1–10

We are all born into a trap we can’t rescue ourselves from. In Ephesians 2:1–10, the apostle Paul tells us something both sobering and hopeful: we weren’t just struggling or spiritually sick—we were dead in our sin, powerless to save ourselves. That truth helps explain why so many of us feel that life should be better, yet we can’t quite get there on our own. But in mercy, God stepped in. In this message, Pastor Mace Perez explores our spiritual predicament, the rescue God provides in Christ by grace through faith, and the purpose for which we’ve been saved—not by good works, but for good works. This sermon invites both longtime Christians and thoughtful seekers to consider what it truly means to move from death to life in Christ.
