THE CHAPEL at Pasadena Podcast

In this sermon, Pastor Steven explores Paul’s revelation of the great “mystery” now made known—the full inclusion of the Gentiles as fellow heirs, members, and partakers in Christ. Through Paul’s ministry and prayer, we see God’s eternal plan unfold: a united church filled with the power of the Spirit, rooted in the unsearchable riches and immeasurable love of Christ.

In this message, Pastor Steven unpacks how Christ tears down the “dividing wall of hostility” that once separated Jew and Gentile, near and far, insider and outsider. Through His death, Jesus fulfills the law, brings peace, and gives all believers full access to the Father. Now, we are no longer strangers, but one people—fellow citizens and members of God’s household, being built together into a living temple where God Himself dwells.

In this sermon, Pastor Steven walks through one of the most powerful passages in Scripture—Ephesians 2:1–10. He shows how Paul confronts the full reality of our condition apart from Christ—dead in sin, enslaved to the world, the flesh, and the devil—and then reveals the breathtaking hope in two words: “But God.” Through His mercy, love, and grace, God makes us alive in Christ and calls us His workmanship—reborn as a living testimony to His grace.

In this opening message from Ephesians, Pastor Steven introduces three questions that will guide our study this fall: Who am I in Christ? Who are we as the Church? And what does it mean to have courage? Looking at Paul’s deep love for the Ephesian church and God’s vision for His people, we are called to live with unity, boldness, and a renewed identity in Christ.
