What has God done for us – and what is He building through us?
In Ephesians 2:11-22, we see one of the clearest pictures of life without God: distant, separated, and far from His family. From the moment humanity was driven out of the garden in Genesis 3, the story has been one of brokenness and separation. But God never stopped pursuing His people.
Then everything changes.
“But now, in Christ Jesus, you who once were far away have been brought near…” Not by our effort, but by His grace – through the blood of Christ. Jesus lived the life we could not live and died the death we deserved, making a way for us to be reconciled to God.
This isn’t just about being fixed – it’s about being made new. God is creating a new humanity, a people in whom He now dwells. The temple is no longer a place, but a people. And if God’s Spirit lives in us, then we carry His presence – and His mission – into the world.
Join us as we explore how, in Christ, the way to God is open to all – and how we are called to proclaim that good news.
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
~~ Ephesians 2:13
