Ephesians 4:11-16 Grow 3/1/26 Sermon
He gave… The church’s mission is to be and make disciples; we do that as we pursue Jesus in humility, gentleness, patience, love, and unity (4:2). But we can’t bring that about on our own!

Ephesians 2:11-22 Fellow Citizens 2/1/26 Sermon
What we are. Because of Christ’s work, not only can we have salvation because of a right relationship with God, but we also can enjoy the unity that the gospel produces: no longer would the world be divided between Jews and Gentiles. Each is succeeded by one new people of God, unified in their worship of Him.
