Sanctuary is a church plant in the heart of San Francisco, where we seek to both honor God’s Word and live by His Spirit. For us, success is loving well, one person at a time.

In this message from Sanctuary SF's “New Humans” series, we explore Ephesians 4:1–16 and what it means to live as a unified, Spirit-filled community shaped by love.We're reminded that identity in Christ is not only personal but communal—rooted in the oneness of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The church is God's chosen vehicle to spread His glory and love throughout the earth.Discover how spiritual gifts work together to build up the Body of Christ, how love matures us into Christlike character, and how the Church reflects the very heart of the Trinity.

In this message from our New Humans series through Ephesians, we walk through Ephesians 3: the revealed mystery of Christ, the church as God's manifold wisdom, and Paul's powerful prayer that we would know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge.We recap chapters 1–2 (adoption, grace, unity), then read Ephesians 3 and reflect on how God forms a new humanity in Christ—Jew and Gentile together—displaying his wisdom to rulers and authorities. We consider living as a “signpost of the age to come,” and we close by praying Paul's prayer (Eph 3:14–21) over our community.Key Scriptures: Ephesians 1–3; Ephesians 3:6, 10, 14–21Series: New Humans (Ephesians) | Sanctuary ChurchReflection QuestionsWhat does Ephesians 3 reveal about who God is and what He's doing through the church?Where do you sense Christ inviting you to “let Him dwell” more deeply in your heart?How can our community embody God's multi-colored wisdom in a divided world?

In this message, we explore how the gospel creates a new family in Christ. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 2:11–22 that through Jesus, the dividing walls of hostility are torn down, and people from every background are brought near by His blood. No longer strangers and outsiders, we are now fellow citizens and members of God's household.
