Sunday Service: A Church Engaged - Pastor Jeff Young

In Ephesians 2, Paul reminds us that we were once spiritually dead in our sins, but God's rich mercy and love gave us new life through Christ. Salvation is not earned through good works but is a free gift received through faith. As believers, we're no longer strangers but full members of God's family. This identity transformation changes how we approach church engagement—not as an obligation but as family members working together. Understanding our place in God's family helps us avoid the dangers of isolated faith and empowers us to live as a connected, serving, and generous community.
