Ephesians: The Gospel Oct 3rd 2024

October 2, 2024 • Tucker McKee • Ephesians 2:1–10

Have you ever felt like you're missing the mark, like something's holding you back from truly connecting with God? In this insightful message, Tucker explores the concept of being "dead in our transgressions," explaining what that means and why it's the natural state of every human being. He doesn't sugarcoat things; he dives right into the reality of our sin nature, inherited from Adam and Eve, and how even small acts of disobedience separate us from a holy God. But don't worry, it's not all doom and gloom! This message is packed with hope, reminding us of God's immeasurable love and mercy. Discover how God, in his incredible grace, offers us a way out of our "deadness" through the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. This gift isn't something we can earn, it's not a reward for good behavior – it's offered to everyone, regardless of what they've done. Learn what it means to truly accept this gift, to make Jesus Lord of your life, and experience the freedom and joy of a life transformed by Christ. This episode is a powerful reminder that no matter how far from God we might feel, His grace is always within reach. If you don't go to church anywhere we would love to see you Sunday mornings at 9:00am for Connection Hour, 8:45am breakfast! Follow our Instagram or Facebook First Baptist East Students.
