The Way We Were

This sermon examines the human condition as described in Ephesians 2, emphasizing the theological concept of total depravity where individuals are spiritually dead, enslaved by the world, the devil, and their own flesh, and subject to God's wrath. The message contrasts this hopeless state with the divine intervention of God, who, out of rich mercy and great love, quickens the dead in Christ. It highlights that salvation is solely by grace, reversing the believer's status from children of wrath to heirs of God's kindness. The tone is convicting yet ultimately comforting, urging listeners to recognize their spiritual need and place their faith in Jesus Christ for new life.
