Union with Christ | Ephesians 2:1-10

When the gospel came to Ephesus in the first century AD, a riot broke out. The good news of Jesus upended pagan ways of thinking and living. A similar confrontation awaits us as we encounter Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. This glorious epistle challenges us to ponder the story we're living in, the purpose we're pursuing, and the relationships we're building along the way. In this series, we see how gospel doctrine ignites renewal and love as we get swept up in God’s purpose to unite and fill all things in Jesus Christ.

In various ways, we are all trying to fill a spiritual hole with a material thing. This leads to inhabiting a fragile identity. Union with Christ, the focus of Ephesians 2:1-10, is the only remedy and gives us a secure identity in Christ. In this sermon we explore what it means to be United with Christ by grace through faith and the implications this has for our daily lives.
