In this sermon, we talk about how Jesus, through the cross, kills the hostility that exists between Jewish and Gentile believers as a pattern for how all ethnic and ideological hostility is killed in the same way; through Jesus, we who are naturally hostile towards God and one another are reconciled and transformed to be lovers of God and others.

As a church, one of our biggest aims is to help train, equip and mobilize our members in the gifts that God has given them so that they might be a blessing to our church and that God might confirm some gifting and callings in their life so that they might serve our church in greater ways and/or be sent out of our church to help plant new churches and pastor/bless unhealthy churches as solid church members.  To help us in this task of training and equipping, we developed these Preachers Forum evenings and are praying that God would raise up preachers, sound technicians, worship leaders, children's ministry volunteers and launch team members that will serve our local church and, we pray, God might call some of them to help plant healthy churches and ministries out of our church.

This episode is the recording of one of our sermons from our August Preachers Forum and is given by Chris Wold, one of our Pastoral Apprentices at the Trails.

This weekend, we're continuing our study in the book of Ephesians by seeing how Paul reminds the Christians in Ephesus of the good news of their salvation - how they were once walking in opposition to God, but now, by God's grace and His work in their lives, they are made spiritually alive and walking in works that He has prepared for them.  The entire trajectory of their life has drastically changed.  This is not only true of the Christians in Ephesus, but all Christians; as we were all born spiritually dead, hating the things of God and at war with satan, the world, and our own flesh.  However, God has made us alive in Christ - which is a wonderful thing to be thankful for on this Thanksgiving weekend.

In last week’s sermon, we talked about how the Ephesians were this mixed group of people (Jews and Gentiles) who were united to Jesus by faith and, as a result, brought into a new spiritual family (united with a local church), so that they might have tangible relationships that demonstrate the effects of the Gospel in their everyday lives.

This Sunday, we’re continuing our “Living Letters to a Dying World” series. At this time, we are talking about how being a living letter is not just about the truth we confess with our lips, but our lives should reflect and manifest this truth to be read by everyone.

This weekend we’re kicking off this 4-weeks series called “Living Letters to a Dying World”. Our focus in this series is to explore how we - Christians - are letters from Christ sent into this dying world we live in. The intent is to explore the so famous “Great Commission” but from a perspective that hopefully will help to enrich our understanding of our mission as a church and as Christians individually.
