Ephesians, A Grand Design for a New Humanity, Part 7 - Ps Josh Newington - 22nd February 26 by Cornerstone Christian Church

No matter where you are in life, thriving or struggling, addicted to drugs or religion, too confident in yourself or not confident enough in who Jesus has made you to be… The Gospel makes you new. In fact, here is what the depths of the Gospel give us as a New Humanity… 1. A New Footing with God - “We are Justified”2. A New Family with God - “We are Adopted”3. A New Future with God - “We are Empowered”Becoming new through faith is a beautiful thing, but in the first three chapters of Romans, Paul describes the broken state of “Old Humanity.” Old Humanity does not live justified, but condemned, does not value family but radical individualism, and does not have a future with God but only focuses on the here and now. Paul makes a case to not live like the Romans do. He writes this letter to help believers live in Rome without becoming “of Rome.” I believe as he writes to them, he is writing to us, to help us live in the world but not become “of the world.”This week we unpacked this in a message called, “Rome: A Home Away From Home.”Join us for service online or in person every Sunday at 8am, 9:30am, 11am, & 12:30pm (PST).Connect to Captivate! - https://shorturl.at/nKxQuDownload the Captivate App to Stay Connected! - https://shorturl.at/5PfXPIf you want to share how God is moving in your life through this ministry, please let us know at info@captivatesd.com!Decided To Follow Jesus?

The New Humanity

The New Humanity

Ephesians 2.11-22. How do you get enemies who don't like each other and have nothing in common to become reconciled friends who feel like family? There's only one way; the gospel. Ephesians 2 explains. 22 February 2026.

Ephesians, A Grand Design for a New Humanity, Part 6 - Ps Josh Newington - 15th February 26 by Cornerstone Christian Church

In this message from Ephesians 3:1–13, Pastor Jim explores Paul's surprising digression about imprisonment, his call, and the breathtaking purpose of the church. What looks small and ordinary on the surface is actually cosmic in significance. Jim shows how Paul understood himself as a steward entrusted with the key to God's household, revealing that Jews and Gentiles now belong together as one new family in Christ. Through the church, God's multi-faceted wisdom is put on display not only to the world but to the spiritual powers themselves. This passage reminds us that our ordinary faithfulness, unity, forgiveness, and love carry eternal weight. The church is not the goal but the preview of what God is building, a foretaste of the coming kingdom where every tribe and language will gather around Jesus. Even suffering becomes part of the story as we live out worship, obedience, and proclamation in a world that resists reconciliation.

In this sermon, we explore the crushing pressure of living under the constant surveillance of a world that demands perfection. If you're exhausted by the 24-hour shift of trying to stay "right" in everyone else's eyes, it's time to discover a different way to be human.

One new humanity in Christ. Pastor Stuart Rodgers. 15 Feb 2026.

Ephesians, A Grand Design for a New Humanity, Part 5 - Ps Josh Newington - 8th February 26 by Cornerstone Christian Church

Pastor Jim unpacks Ephesians 2:11-22 to show how Jesus is not only our peace but the one who has destroyed every dividing wall. What once separated Jew and Gentile, near and far, is now reconciled through the cross. Jim reminds us that salvation is not just about forgiveness but about forming a new family, a new humanity, where God's Spirit dwells. The church is not a religious club or a place for behavior management. It is God's living temple on earth. In Christ, our identities are made secure, hostility is put to death, and unity is possible not through human effort but by the presence of God himself living among his people.

What if a single word could change everything?In Ephesians 2, the apostle Paul pivots from humanity's brokenness to God's radical grace with one of the most important conjunctions in Scripture: “But God.” In this teaching, we explore how Paul uses language, metaphor, and imagination to describe what God has done in Jesus—and what that means for how we live together now.We reflect on:Why Paul begins with an honest picture of human failureHow “but because of God's great love” reshapes faith from transaction to graceWhat it means to be God's handiwork—a kind of divine poemThe walls of hostility we build, defend, and carryHow Jesus creates one new humanity marked by peaceWhy Paul's primary metaphor for the church is not an army or fortress, but a homeThis message invites us to consider how Christian community can become a living sign of God's creativity, welcome, and reconciliation—for the good of the world.

Ps Paul Craig continues through the book of Ephesians. Ephesians 2:11-22 (Jew and Gentile Reconciled Through Christ).

How can we find hope in such trying times? In Part 2 of this interview with scholar, philosopher, and researcher Jean Houston, Ph.D., she shares her first meeting with American cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead, one of her early and most impactful mentors. Margaret considered Jean her "adopted daughter" and encouraged her to keep searching, keep understanding, keep putting pieces together to make some sense of it all. Mead was one of the early founders of Earth Day and taught Jean to keep reaching for solutions. Thorough this experience, Jean learned to produce extensive writing about the "new story of humanity" – she wrote books every month about history, culture, and possibilities. Jean talks today about how we can progress through community and cooperation and use our creativity to the fullest, by recognizing the good in one another. We can activate our innate genes as beings seeking constant growth and evolve to become higher humans as we visualize the possibilities and create the world we want. This is entelechy – it pushes us toward what humanity could be. Through her mentors and studies, Jean learned to observe and hone her particular awareness in a unique way of seeing people and raising them to their greatness. She worked for the UN and with many cultures throughout the world as well as working with Presidents including President Bill Clinton and President Jimmy Carter. Today we are asked to consider, "What does a world that works look like?"  New science, quantum physics, and relational science teach that there is unity and oneness. We can experience the evolution of the human race, activate the genes of the higher human, and witness the possible human. Jean paints an image of what our possible world could look like, by seeing the possibility in other people. Jean believes we are in a renaissance period now and although we've experienced the pandemic, wars, shootings, and scenes of outrage, we've also seen the linking of hearts, which is indeed the gestation period of a New Humanity. People want peace worldwide. We can do this by accessing the very depths of the human spirit which is available to all of us by seeing the very best in one another. This is the second of a two-part discussion. Info: https://www.jeanhouston.com/

This is the nineteenth sermon in our Ephesians: Becoming Who We Are series at 4TheCity Church of Greensburg, PA.

Romans 9:10-13 — What does the apostle Paul mean when he speaks of God electing people? There are few questions more controversial than this one. In this sermon on Romans 9:10–13 titled “God's New Humanity,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones seeks to answer this particularly important question. He notes that throughout Scripture God chooses men and women to serve and follow Him. The great apostle Paul argues in this passage that salvation comes because God chooses to save sinners and to make them part of the body of Christ. This divine decision is not based on anything that they do nor is it based on any merit in them, but it is wholly a result of God's great love. The decision does not mean that God simply renovates fallen sinners in Adam, but He elects them into the body of Christ as children and heirs. While there is no doubt that this is a controversial and debated passage, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones exhorts the listener to not flee from difficult passages in Scripture, but to use their God-gifted mind to seek to understand His Word. This doctrine ought to lead the Christian to look not to themselves, but to look to God who saves them because He is just and righteous and not because of anything in themselves.

Since the Tower of Babel, humanity has been divided by race, economics, and culture—but the coming of Christ changed everything. In this message from Galatians 3:28, Dr. John Neufeld explores how Jesus creates "one new humanity" by breaking down the walls of hostility between Jew and Greek, slave and free, male and female. Christ becomes bigger than our politics, culture, and divisions, uniting vastly different people as brothers and sisters in one family of faith.Christmas From Galatians: This Christmas, Dr. John takes an unprecedented approach to the season by exploring why Jesus' coming was absolutely necessary. Through the book of Galatians, this series traces God's plan from Abraham's promise through the giving of the Law to the arrival of Christ. Discover why the Law was never meant to save us but to diagnose our condition, how Jesus fulfilled what we could never accomplish, and how Christmas opened the door for all people to become sons and daughters of God.

Our Advent series continues with Steve Withington explaining how Jesus came to show us what true humanity looks like and how, through his Spirit, we can be transformed into the new humanity that was always meant to be like him.

What does it truly mean to be reconciled? Ephesians 2:11-22 takes us on a profound journey beyond the familiar territory of personal salvation into the often-overlooked dimension of horizontal reconciliation. We discover that the cross doesn't just bridge the gap between us and God—it destroys the dividing walls between us and each other. The passage confronts us with uncomfortable truths about enmity, those barriers of hostility that have plagued humanity since Cain asked, 'Am I my brother's keeper?' From the physical balustrade in the ancient temple that excluded Gentiles under penalty of death, to the segregation signs and residential schools that have scarred our own history, we see how human brokenness creates walls. Yet the stunning revelation is this: Jesus didn't just die to get us into heaven. He died to create 'one new humanity' out of separated, hostile groups. The law, though good, became twisted in our sinful hands—turning 'love your neighbour' into 'but who is my neighbour?' Jesus fulfilled the law perfectly and then did something radical: He took all our blame, all our hostility toward each other, and absorbed it in His own body on the cross. The same place where sin is judged is the birthplace of a new world. As we gather around the communion table, we're not just remembering our vertical reconciliation with the Father—we're participating in a vision of humanity made whole, where our differences become a beautiful tapestry rather than battle lines.Ephesians 2:11-22 - Main passage of the sermonGenesis 4:9 - Cain's question "Am I my brother's keeper?"Acts 15:1-2 - The Jerusalem Council regarding circumcisionRomans 7:7-8, 10 - Paul's discussion on the law and sinLeviticus 19:18 - "Love your neighbor as yourself"Luke 10 - The lawyer's question and the Good Samaritan parable2 Corinthians 5:21 - "God made him who had no sin to be sin for us"

This Sunday, Pastor Jon Tyson continued our series Making Sense of Church with a teaching from Ephesians 2:14–18, focusing on Paul's vision of the Church as the "the new humanity." In a society marked by polarization, contempt, and hostility, Pastor Jon reminded us that Jesus Himself is our peace—the One who tears down dividing walls and creates a radically new kind of community. In Adam, the "old humanity" is marked by blame, fear, hiding, violence, and retaliation, but in Christ, we are brought into a kainos humanity—new in kind, not just in time. Through the cross, Jesus forms a people defined by grace, love, and unity.

RECENT TEACHINGS

What if the biggest barrier to experiencing God's fullness isn't our circumstances—but our unwillingness to reconcile what feels impossible? In Ephesians 2:11-22, Paul writes to a divided church in Ephesus—a bustling, diverse city not unlike Seattle—and reminds them that Jesus has already torn down every wall of hostility.This message invites us to take an honest look at the walls we've rebuilt between “us” and “them”—over race, politics, theology, or past wounds—and consider what it means to live as one new humanity in Christ. Reconciliation isn't just being nice; it's choosing to make peace. It's stepping into the hard, beautiful work of building a spiritual home where strangers become family and difference becomes strength.The question is simple: what walls might Jesus be inviting you to cross today?

In Romans 5, Paul parallels the transgression of Adam with the obedience of Jesus, not to compare two humans, but to highlight a new form of humanity.  This new humanity has a new kind of life - not just longer, and not just sinless in a moral sense - but it shares in the abundant overflowing overjoying nature of God's own life.Scripture:Romans 5:12-21Resources:FaceBook- FCC Young AdultsInstagram- @fccyaEmail- fccyadmin@fccsantamaria.orgWebsite- fccsantamaria.org

In Christ, the dividing walls between people come crashingdown. The Church is one new humanity, built together on Christ as thecornerstone.

Speaker: Rev. Kyuboem Lee, Passage: Ephesians 2:11-22 (NIV), Series: The Body of Christ

This week we continue our journey through the Letter of Colossians. Paul begins to move away from the behaviors and attitudes that we need to avoid and into the behaviors and attitudes we must adopt. How do we live out the new nature in Christ? How do we express that new nature? How does that new nature affect our relationships?

Ephesians 4:17-24

Today, Christians are used to the idea of the body of Christ being made up of people from all different backgrounds and ethnicities. But we can't forget that in the days of the early church, there was still an important distinction between Jews and Gentiles. Dr. Boice explains why that distinction is a reminder of the great hope that we have in Christ. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/81/29

From our vantage point within a culture steeped in pessimism and cynicism, we may be surprised to find that Colossians 3:5–11, a passage containing a list of sins, is not ultimately about our sin—but rather our renewal and new identity in Christ. Listen as RUF at Illinois campus minister Ethan Brown preaches on this passage, showing us that to live as people of hope we need to be honest about sin and honest about grace. Pastor Ethan looks at this text in two sections: The Old Morality and The New Humanity. Sunday Morning Worship // July 13, 2025 ------------------------------- allsoulspca.org All Souls (Urbana, IL) is a part of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), a Christian, Reformed denomination with historic and theological roots in the Protestant Reformation.

In today's episode, I delve into Colossians chapter 3, verses 8 through 15, where the scripture prompts us to shed harmful behaviors such as anger, malice, and slander, and instead adopt a new nature that embodies love and peace. Drawing upon the profound truths within this passage, I explore both the personal and communal implications of our Christian identity in Christ, particularly in a time marked by division and polarization.Reflecting on the COVID pandemic, I recount how it initially evoked a spirit of solidarity, as communities came together to support essential workers. However, this unity was short-lived, giving way to divisions that were often exacerbated by differing perspectives on risk and guidelines, highlighting the pre-existing fractures in our society. As we navigate through this discussion, we recognize that the pandemic has brought to the forefront long-standing issues of division that we must confront as a community.Linking these observations to our current cultural context, I note that we live in an era marked by loneliness and a failure to connect. With statistics revealing that many Americans experience profound isolation, I emphasize the Church's calling to foster community as designed by God. Building upon Ginny's insights from the previous week, I introduce the concept of community and service as core Christian practices and reflect on the intrinsic and extrinsic forces that push us away from this divine design.I then transition into an examination of polarization and its effects on our communities. Drawing from social psychology, I introduce the term 'homophily'—the tendency to associate with those who are like us—and unpack how this tendency, combined with external sorting forces like economic disparity and geographic segregation, leads us further apart. In stark contrast, the early Church exemplified a polarization-resistant community, breaking down barriers and embodying a new humanity in Christ.As we delve deeper into the scripture, I highlight how our identities in Christ unify us beyond all earthly divisions—be they ethnic, socioeconomic, or ideological. In Christ, we have the opportunity to build a community that transcends these barriers, aligning ourselves with His teachings of forgiveness and love. I challenge listeners to reflect on the clothing imagery Paul uses, urging us to shed garments of anger and resentment and instead wear compassion, humility, and patience.Finally, I present practical steps for counter-formation. These include replacing our instinct towards rage with mercy through prayer, intentionally engaging with those who are different from us, and transforming consumption of religious services into active participation in community life. By leaning into these practices, I invite everyone to discover the richness of relationships that Jesus offers and to take part in creating a polarization-resistant new humanity that genuinely reflects the love of Christ.As we conclude this episode, I encourage listeners to embrace their role in fostering unity within the body of Christ and to actively invest in relationships that illustrate our common identity in Him.

Welcome to Day 2664 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2669 – New Testament Orientation – “Christ, The Fulfillment of the Law” Putnam Church Message – 07/06/2025 Sermon Series: New Testament Orientation Message 10: “Christ, the Fulfillment of the Law”   Last week we explored “The Letters of Paul: God's Design for a New Humanity.” Core Verses: Romans 1:16-17 (NLT) “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ, for it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, ‘It is by faith that a righteous person will live.'” This week is the tenth of 12 messages in our New Testament Orientation Series, and we will learn: "Christ, the Fulfillment of the Law" Core Verse: Galatians 2:16 (NLT) "Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God by faith in Christ and not by obeying the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law."   Opening Prayer Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we stand before You today, humbled by the depth of Your wisdom and the mystery of Your ways. As we delve into the intricate relationship between Your holy Law and the glorious Person of Jesus Christ, we pray for clarity of mind and open hearts. May Your Holy Spirit guide us to understand how Christ perfectly fulfilled Your purposes, shattering the barriers that separated humanity from Your presence and from one another. Transform our understanding, deepen our devotion, and empower us to live in the freedom and righteousness He secured. In the mighty name of Jesus, our Living Torah, we pray. Amen. Introduction: The Enduring Question of the Law We've navigated the Gospels, explored the explosive growth of the early church in Acts, and journeyed through Paul's foundational letters. Today, we confront a topic that has puzzled, divided, and sometimes even hurt believers throughout history: the Law. For ancient Israelites, the Torah was a gift, a privilege, a source of joy and identity. As the psalmist declared, "Oh, how I love your instructions! I think about them all day long." (Psalm 119:97, NLT). So, if the Law was so good, what changed with the coming of Christ? Our core verse from Galatians 2:16 boldly states: "Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God by faith in Christ and not by obeying the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law." This statement, from a Jew who once fiercely kept the Law, demands our careful attention. How can something so celebrated in the Old Testament suddenly be portrayed in a way that suggests it cannot make one "right with God"? Today, we will explore three interconnected concepts that help us understand this profound shift: the "curse of the Law," the...

This week marks Message 9 of 12 in our New Testament Orientation, with the message title: “The Letters of Paul: God's Design for a New Humanity.” Core Verses: Romans 1:16-17 (NLT) “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ, for it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, ‘It is by faith that a righteous person will live.'” Opening Prayer Heavenly Father, we come before You, grateful for the profound wisdom contained within the letters of Your servant, Paul. As we open these ancient texts today, we pray for Your Holy Spirit to illuminate our understanding. Help us to grasp the revolutionary truths Paul proclaimed—the Good News that powerfully unites Jew and Gentile in Christ. May these words challenge our assumptions, deepen our loyalty to Jesus, and embolden us to live as true members of Your diverse and glorious family. In the name of Jesus, our Lord and Messiah, we pray. Amen. Introduction: Paul's Epistles – Shaping the New Israel Today, we embark on a swift but essential journey through the 13 letters attributed to the Apostle Paul. These are not merely theological treatises; they are living documents, forged in the crucible of real-life challenges faced by fledgling communities of believers—Jews and Gentiles—grappling with what it truly meant to follow Jesus as Lord. Our core verses from Romans 1:16-17 serve as a magnificent declaration of Paul's unwavering conviction: “For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ, for it is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes—the Jew first and also the Gentile. This Good News tells us how God makes us right in his sight. This is accomplished from start to finish by faith. As the Scriptures say, ‘It is by faith that a righteous person will live.'” This statement,/from the longest and arguably most influential letter,/encapsulates the revolutionary message that pulsed through all of Paul's writings. For the early believers, rooted in ancient Israelite culture, the concept of God's “salvation” was deeply tied to joining the family of Abraham and to a covenant relationship with Yahweh, the one true God. It wasn't primarily about an individual's escape from hell, but about a transformation of identity and allegiance, leading to a new way of life under the kingship of Jesus. Paul's letters systematically unpack how this new reality, initiated by Christ,...

In this message, we explore the transformative journey from our old selves to a new humanity in Christ, as outlined in Ephesians 4. We're challenged to 'put off' our old ways of thinking and behaving, which are rooted in worldly mindsets and addictive patterns. Instead, we're called to 'put on' a new way of life that reflects our true identity in Christ. This isn't just about individual change, but about becoming part of a new community where honesty, forgiveness, and encouragement replace pretense, anger, and harmful speech. As we wrestle with this teaching, we're invited to consider how our daily choices and interactions might change if we truly embraced this new humanity. Are we living as 'fitting' to our calling in Christ, or are we still clinging to old patterns that no longer define us?

Understanding Grace as a Social Dynamic. In this episode of the Voxology podcast, Mike Erre and Tim Stafford discuss the implications of Christian nationalism, the importance of mental health in the face of societal issues, and the transformative power of grace within community dynamics. They explore how grace can reorder relationships and emphasize the need for a new humanity as described in Ephesians, while also addressing the challenges of navigating anger and outrage in today's world. Further, Mike and Tim explore the transformative power of grace within the context of the new humanity as described in the New Testament. They discuss how grace flattens social hierarchies, reverses corrupt evaluations of status, and fosters a sense of siblingship among believers. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community practices that restore Shalom, address racial dynamics, and promote generosity towards the marginalized. Ultimately, they highlight the need for the church to embody a radical reconfiguration of social values that celebrates diversity and humanity 00:00 - Introduction to Voxology Podcast 00:59 - Christian Nationalism and Its Appeal 07:32 - Navigating Anger and Mental Health 12:04 - The Role of Grace in Community 15:15 - Ephesians and the New Humanity 32:12 - Grace as a Social Dynamic 33:10 - Dynamics of Grace in the New Humanity 36:06 - The Flattening Effect of Grace 38:30 - Reversing Social Status through Grace 41:51 - The Role of Community in Siblingship 44:56 - The Great Reversal of Status 48:26 - Addressing Racial Dynamics in the Church 52:48 - Practices for Restoring Shalom 56:48 - Generosity and the Poor 01:00:06 - Reconciliation and Social Practices 01:04:51 - Celebrating Humanity and Diversity As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.
