In this "Built Different" sermon series, we walk through the book of Ephesians, learning the truth that our identity in Christ changes everything about how we live: our relationships, our mindset, our purpose, and our daily decisions.

Because of what God has done for us, we don’t just believe differently, we live differently.

Message Notes

Grace doesn't just save you; it sends you.

Ephesians 2:1–10 (NLT)

Dead people don't save themselves.

Ephesians 2:1 (NLT)

But the gospel doesn't say we need a makeover. The gospel says we need a resurrection.

Romans 3:23 (NLT)

Sin isn't just something we do. Sin is the condition we were born into.

Ephesians 2:2–3 (NLT)

Me.

That's why sin isn't just breaking God's rules. It's rejecting God's rule.

You don't need self-help when you're spiritually dead. You need a Savior.

Ephesians 2:4–5 (NLT)

Grace made us alive.

But God.

Romans 5:8 (NLT)

Ephesians 2:8–9 (NLT)

Salvation is God's work, not our achievement.

Grace changes everything.

Because of who we are in Christ, we now live differently for Christ.

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)
