United in Christ: No longer outsiders
On August 30, 2026, we explore the profound truth that in Christ, there are no divisions. Discover how the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus shattered ancient barriers, bringing salvation and belonging to all who believe. If you've ever felt unworthy, this message is for you.
The barrier broken down
The core message of God's word is one of inclusion and boundless love. Through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross and his glorious resurrection, a monumental shift occurred. What once separated people, particularly between Jews and Gentiles, was abolished. This divine act of grace tore down the wall of hostility, making a way for everyone to draw near to God.
A word for us all: Ephesians 2:11-13
Let's turn to the powerful words found in Ephesians 2:11-13: "Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called 'the uncircumcision' by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ." This passage reminds us of our former state and the incredible transformation brought by Jesus.
Finding your worth in Christ
This message is especially for anyone grappling with feelings of unworthiness, feeling like an outsider, or believing they are too far gone for God's love. The truth of the Gospel is that through faith in Jesus, you are no longer a stranger but a beloved child of God, fully accepted and cherished. Your past does not define your worth in God's eyes. His grace covers all, offering salvation and a place in His family to everyone who believes.
The amazing thing about God's love and forgiveness is that after you accept Christ as you savior he no longer sees the filth stained sinner you are (hopefully sinning less often tho) but for the wonderful person he intended you to be (but knew you couldn't obtain in this fallen world). His love is so all encompassing that he promises that sin once forgiven will never be remembered or brought up again. That your aura tho stained crimson with sin looks white as wool to God. Once you comprehend that you can't help but love God with your heart, soul and mind.
Romans 5:19
For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
