A Life of Significance

SERMON TITLE: A Life of Significance
SPEAKER: Rebekah Lee
SYNOPSIS: Paul reminds the Ephesians how God’s salvation
is significant to us.
SCRIPTURE: Ephesians 2:1-10

Made Alive in Christ
2 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and
sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the
ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,
the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.
3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying
the cravings of our flesh[a] and following its desires and
thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.
4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich
in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were
dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved.
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, 7 in order that in
the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his
grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by
works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God
prepared in advance for us to do.
