Podcasts about Ephesians 2

Jesus Died to Make Peace Jesus didn't only die to reconcile us to God; he also died to make peace between people, even in the face of long-standing hostilities. God's plan is to unite people of all kinds together into one new humanity in Jesus Christ.  Ephesians 2:11-18   11 Therefore remember that previously you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called “Uncircumcision” by the so-called “Circumcision” which is performed in the flesh by human hands— 12 remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the people of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of the promise, having no hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who previously were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall, 15 by abolishing in His flesh the hostility, which is the Law composed of commandments expressed in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two one new person, in this way establishing peace; 16 and that He might reconcile them both in one body to God through the cross, by it having put to death the hostility. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were far away, and peace to those who were near; 18 for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.    Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/ The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, X, via email.

But God…Ephesians 2 begins with a sobering reality: apart from Christ, we aren't merely sick, broken, or in need of improvement—we are dead in our sin.We follow the ways of the world, the enemy, and the cravings of our own sinful nature. And because of our sin, we stand under God's righteous judgment.But God.Those two words change everything.“Because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy…” — Ephesians 2:4Our sin is great, but God's mercy is greater.Our rebellion is real, but God's love is greater.We were dead, but God makes us alive in Christ.That is the glorious grace of the Gospel. Join us as we walk through Ephesians 2:1–4 and discover the hope found in two of the most powerful words in Scripture:But God…#GloriousGrace #Ephesians #ButGod #Ephesians2 #Gospel #Grace #Mercy #Jesus

In this message, Pastor Jason traces God's plan of redemption from Eden to Christ, showing how every promise points to the God who refuses to abandon His broken world. Through Ephesians 2, we see the heart of the gospel: though we were dead in sin... BUT GOD.....rich in mercy and great in love, made us alive in Christ and is making us new. Because we have a God who won't abandon us in our brokenness, we have hope!

God Rescued Us! | A Reflective Walk through Ephesians 2:4-10   Ephesians 2:4-10 describes how God rescued us from the desperate plight of sin and death. And it tells us why he did it: because he's rich in mercy, full of great love, surpassing in grace, and genuinely kind.  Ephesians 2:4-10 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the boundless riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and this is not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.   Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/ The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, X, via email.

Ephesians 2:11-13 New International Version   11 Therefore, remember that formerly you who are Gentiles by birth and called “uncircumcised” by those who call themselves “the circumcision” (which is done in the body by human hands)— 12 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Most of us do not like to think about death, especially when we think about our own death. While all men will die one day in the future, Paul turns this concept on its head by saying that all men start off as dead men. In this case, however, they are spiritually dead. In his extravagant grace and mercy, God, who is very much alive, brings lifeless souls to new life in Christ. Paul goes out of his way to say that it is by grace we have been saved, through faith and not of works. In other words, you are saved because what a living God has done for us, and not for what we have done for God. This is true both for Jews and for Gentiles. Under Christ, we are united as one, and he has reconciled all men under the headship of Jesus. :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Week 2 of the "Ephesians" series.

Ephesians 2:11-22; 1 Peter 2:9-10 Acts 8:3Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called the uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands—remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.1 Peter 2:9-10But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.Acts 8:3But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison.Exodus 19:3-6while Moses went up to God. The LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.Hosea 1:6She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the LORD said to him, Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all.Hosea 1:8-9When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. And the LORD said, Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.Hosea 1:10Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, it shall be said to them, Children of the living God.1 Peter 2:10Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.1 Corinthians 12:12-13For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.1 Corinthians 12:27Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it.Ephesians 2:19-22So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

Selected verses

The Desperate Plight of Life Without Christ | A Reflective Walk Through Ephesians 2:1-3 Ephesians 2:1-3 provides a diagnosis of our human condition outside of Christ, and the situation is dire. Sin is not just a few bad deeds in an otherwise decent life. It is a disease that infects us to the core. It also infects cultures so that the entire human way of life is corrupt. Looking at ourselves honestly like this leads to greater gratitude and humility in our relationship with God.   Ephesians 2:1-3 2:1 And you were dead in your offenses and sins, 2 in which you previously walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all previously lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the rest.   Free 30 Page eBook to help you Hear and Heed the Bible:  https://www.johnwhittaker.net Support this ministry: Set up a recurring monthly or a one-time donation at the link below. http://worldfamilymissions.org/john-whittaker/ The Listener's Commentary - In-depth teaching through books of the Bible to help you learn the Bible for yourself:  https://www.listenerscommentary.com Connect with John: Social Media- connect on facebook and instagram Email - john@johnwhittaker.net If you've been helped by this teaching leave a review and share freely - on Facebook, Instagram, X, via email.

Ephesians 2:14-18 New King James Version   14 For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, 15 having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances, so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace, 16 and that He might reconcile them both to God in one body through the cross, thereby putting to death the enmity. 17 And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off and to those who were near. 18 For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

We often wear busyness like a badge of honor. Our calendars are full, our schedules are packed, and our to-do lists never seem to end. But does being busy mean we're doing what God has called us to do? In this episode of ScriptureLinks Daily Dose of Inspiration, we'll discover the difference between being busy and being faithful. Looking at Martha's distracted service, God's purpose for our lives, Satan's strategy of distraction, and Jesus' warning about empty religious activity, we'll learn how to focus on what truly matters. God isn't impressed by how much we accomplish—He's interested in whether we're accomplishing what He created us to do.

In this Sunday teaching, Jason Coker concludes the “Spirit of Action” series with a powerful reflection on Ephesians 2:11–22 and the radical way Christ breaks down hostility to create one new humanity. Drawing connections between Jewish and Gentile believers, gendered hierarchies, and the challenge of living alongside people who are different from us, this message explores how God's Spirit continually transforms, reconciles, and reshapes community.Through Scripture, cultural history, and candid storytelling, Jason invites listeners to consider what it means to be built together as a dwelling place for God—citizens, family, and members of one body. If you've ever wrestled with division, discomfort, or the call to grow beyond your own assumptions, this episode offers a thoughtful and challenging invitation into unity, humility, and change.Listen in as Oceanside Sanctuary Church closes the series with a message about peace, belonging, and the ongoing work of the Spirit in forming a new humanity.

Pastor Jared teaches from Ephesians 2:10 on being God's workmanship, made to do good works he planned for us ahead of time. He explains that this isn't about earning salvation but living out the love God has already given us in everyday moments, through prayer, encouragement, and simple acts of care for others. Drawing from Isaiah 40, he unpacks what it means to wait on the Lord, not passively, but with hope and trust that renews our strength. Even hard seasons become part of how God shapes us to comfort and strengthen the people around us.
