Passage: Ephesians 2:19–3:13Date: October 19, 2025Overview: The church isn't built by people for God—it's built by God for His people and His purpose. In Christ, strangers become citizens, outsiders become family, and broken sinners become living stones in God's dwelling place. The church is not a building but a people—joined together by grace, filled with the Spirit, and sent to display God's glory to the world. When we forget who built us, we drift from why we exist. But when we remember that Christ is the cornerstone, we see that belonging to His church means being shaped, joined, and used by Him for something eternal.
