The Forever Family of God | Ephesians 2:11-22 | Ps. David Johnson

In Week 4 of our Ephesians series, we explore one of the most powerful truths in the gospel: Jesus didn’t just come to forgive sin. He came to form a new family. In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul reminds us that through the cross, Jesus broke down every wall that separated people from God and from one another. What was once divided has now been made one in Christ. No longer strangers. No longer outsiders. No longer alone. Through Jesus, we have been welcomed into the forever family of God. This message explores: • The historical divide between Jews and Gentiles • Why Jesus is called the “True Israel” • How the cross destroyed hostility and separation • What baptism means for our identity • Why our identity in Christ comes before every other label • What it means to truly live like family in the Church Scripture References: • Ephesians 2:11-22 • Galatians 3:26-29 • John 15 • Romans 5 • 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 If this message encouraged you, be sure to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs hope today.
