Sermon: "Built Together: No Longer Strangers"
Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22
The ancient world had a wall for everything--and the temple in Jerusalem had a literal one, beyond which no Gentile could pass on pain of death. Paul, writing to Gentile believers, announces the unthinkable: Christ Himself is our peace, and in His flesh He has broken down the dividing wall of hostility. Those who were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.
This message names the walls we still build--walls of race, class, politics, grievance, and preference--and proclaims the cross as God's demolition project. The result is not merely a truce but a new humanity: no longer strangers and aliens, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. The church is not a collection of individuals who happen to agree; it is one house, built on Christ the cornerstone, whose very existence preaches peace.
See you Sunday,
Pastor Tony
