Christianity is full of what seem like contradictions.

I was born into sin, through no fault of my own, but I am also a sinner, and therefore guilty.
I am a sinner, daughter of sinners, but I am also a child of God, heir to a spiritual kingdom I cannot yet see.
I am imperfect, but a perfect God chooses to work through me for His purposes.
I am a new creation, the old has gone, even though sometimes the old threatens to take over again.

And yet, they are true.

YOU are incredibly important to God.
YOU are desperately loved by God.
YOU are put on this planet for a reason.

Ephesians 2:1-22

  1. I used to be an outsider.

    1. The Gospel story is nothing without this part.

    2. As an outsider, I have:

      • No purpose

      • Deception

      • Selfishness

      • Sin

      • No promises from God

  2. Now I am united.

    1. Unity is not the same thing as uniformity.

    2. Stop acting like an outsider! You’re IN now...you don’t have the be the same as everyone else, but you have to be united.

      • Secrecy.  

      • Stubbornness.

      • Selfishness.

  3. WE ARE HIS HOUSE.

    1. Ephesians 5:19-21

    2. We’ve got souls to save!!!
