Building a Gospel Community: Our New Identity

This Sunday we begin a series on biblical community by looking at Ephesians 2.14-22. There are all kinds of communities we can and should participate in. But there is no community more important than the local church. Christians must love and spend themselves for their local church. If we’re going to do that, we must understand the beauty and glory of what God has made us in Christ. In this text Paul gives three pictures that illustrate our new identity as the Church: 1) God’s New Humanity, 2) God’s New Kingdom-Family, and 3) God’s New Temple.
