May 3, 2026 "Getting What You (Don't) Deserve" Ephesians 2:1-10

Welcome to the latest in our series "From Death to Life."  This week, we’re diving into Ephesians chapter 2, a profound passage that asks us to confront our own understanding of worthiness and character. Have you ever wondered about the nature of good and bad? Or perhaps you’ve questioned why life can often feel unfair, leading you to wonder, “Do I really deserve this?” In this sermon, Pastor Michael unpacks the radical truth that the Bible presents: that apart from God's grace, we are not inherently good, but rather spiritually dead in our trespasses. It may sound harsh, but this revelation is a crucial first step in understanding God’s incredible mercy.But don't worry; it doesn't end there! Through powerful verses, Paul reminds us that despite our brokenness and the weight of our sin, "But God" changes everything. He is rich in mercy, and His love transforms the narrative of our lives. We discover that, through Christ's resurrection, we are given new life, a new identity, and the gifted ability to do good works—not to earn our salvation, but as a response to the love we've already received. Join us as we reflect on these life-changing truths and learn what it means to live as God’s masterpiece. Whether you’re exploring faith for the first time or rediscovering your purpose, this message speaks to the core of our human experience and invites us to embrace a deeper relationship with God. If you are interested in joining our service in-person, you can visit us each Sunday at 9:30am CST.
