Ephesians: Unity and Peace - Chris Dillon, Lead Pastor 06 22 25

The second half of Ephesians 2 highlights the deep separation that once existed between Jews and Gentiles, and ultimately between humanity and God. Paul reminds Gentile believers that they were once outsiders—without hope, without God, and cut off from the promises. But through Jesus' death, the dividing wall of hostility has been torn down, bringing reconciliation and peace. Christ unites former enemies into one new people, making them fellow citizens and members of God’s household. This passage reveals that believers now share a new identity—no longer strangers, but part of a spiritual temple where God dwells by His Spirit. The gospel doesn't just save individuals; it creates a unified, redeemed community of people on mission with Jesus!
