Ever questioned your life’s trajectory?

In this message, Pastor Nick Tallo walks us through Ephesians 2, a powerful picture of what life looks like apart from God and the incredible transformation made possible through His grace.

Paul doesn’t hold back. He reminds us where we started… and then shows us what God has done to bring us fully alive in Christ.

Main Takeaways:

1. Understanding Our Condition

Before Christ, we were spiritually dead—caught in patterns we couldn’t escape and separated from the life God designed for us. (Ephesians 2:1–3)

2. Grace Intervenes

Then come two of the most hope-filled words in Scripture: “But God.”

Because of His rich mercy and great love, He makes us alive with Christ. This isn’t earned, it’s grace. (Ephesians 2:4–5)

3. Living From Victory

We’re not just rescued, we’re raised and seated with Christ. That means we live from acceptance, not for it, and our lives become a display of His grace to the world. (Ephesians 2:6–7)

At 2Rivers, our mission is to guide you to become passionate followers of Jesus so you can experience life the way He intended. No matter your past, God’s grace makes a new future possible.
