The Gospel Made Visible
The Gospel Made Visible
Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
What is the church, and what does it mean to belong? Beginning a new series on the church, Pastor Thomas opens Ephesians 2:11–22 to show how Christ brings those who were far off near through his blood, reconciling them to God and to one another.
Through three pictures—citizens of God’s kingdom, members of his family, and stones in his holy temple—we discover our shared identity and purpose. Remembering who we were apart from Christ cultivates humility, strengthens our unity, and calls us to worship God together as a visible picture of the gospel.
