Strangers to Citizens | Matt Beasley
Ephesians 2:19–22 — You're no longer a stranger or an alien; you're a fellow citizen, built into God's own household. Lead Pastor Matt Beasley continues A Study Through Ephesians at Severns Valley.
As Paul closes chapter 2, what was once true of the Gentiles — separated, alienated, without hope — is no longer who they are. Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as the cornerstone, we're being grown together into a holy temple where God is worshiped.
A few things to carry into your week:
- In Christ, "stranger" and "alien" are no longer your identity — you're a citizen and a member of God's household.
- The whole church is being built into a holy temple, joined together on Christ the cornerstone.
- Faithfulness is measured by the cornerstone, not by crowds, dollars, or influence — sometimes it even looks like fewer.
- Whatever you carry — grief, anger, lust, resentment — your sin can never outpace His grace (Ephesians 1:7).
"Are you still living like a stranger to a household you've already been brought into?"
