The Crossing Church Sermons

We are God's good work created to do His good work - Ephesians 2:10

God has accomplished His good work in us so much that we, as part of the new creation, are a work of His that can display God's grace as we do His good works.

By Grace Through Faith - Ephesians 2:8-9

How do we move from those who are spiritually dead, more allegient to Satan than God, under God's wrath to made alive by Christ, seated and raised with Christ? We are shown grace that leads to faith in Christ. This is all a gift of God for which we can worship and not boast.

Raised and Seated with Christ to Show Off His Grace and Kindness - Ephesians 2:6-7

We are not only made alive by Christ, we are also raised and seated with Christ so that God can display His grace and kindess through our salvation.

The Bleak Natural Human Spiritual Condition - Ephesians 2:1-2

Before and without Christ, our natural spiritual human condition is bleak. Spiritually dead. More aligned with the kingdom of Satan than God. Humanity's greatest problem is this spiritual separation from God and thankfully God also provides His greatest remedy.

Resurrection Sunday - God's Resurrecting Power in Us, the Church - Ephesians 1:19-23

On this Resurrection Sunday see the reality of God's Power as seen in Jesus' resurrection that is now in us because of our union with Christ. This is power enough to raise the dead, power that Jesus exerts as He rules over every earthly and spiritual ruler and it's a power that Jesus exerts FOR the church. So that we, His body, would accomplish our mission - to fill the earth with the fullness of Christ.
