Title: Built Together in Christ
Text: Ephesians 2.19-22

Intro: In this passage, the Apostle Paul continues to explain a believer’s union with Christ. As
followers of Christ, we have been reconciled to God. God has killed the hostility between
Himself and His people. Paul explains that this work and union has brought both Jew and
Gentile together as citizens of a new kingdom. Despite vastly different cultures, histories, and
even enmities, God has given a new identity to all who belong to Jesus. In Christ, those who
were once far off are being built together as God’s dwelling place among the nations.

Christ has changed our identities...from strangers to family. (v. 19)

  1. We are desired--being brought into a large family. (vv. 19-20)
  2. We are secure--built on a formational cornerstone. (v. 20)
  3. We are valued--joined as a holy temple. (vv. 21-22)
