As we begin our church unity series in Ephesians, we are stepping into a letter written to a church learning how to live faithfully in a divided and confusing world. Ephesians helps us see reality clearly by reminding us who God is and what He is doing. It lifts our eyes to the Father’s eternal plan, reveals Jesus as the victorious King who brings true peace, and assures us that the Holy Spirit is actively at work among God’s people. In seasons when life feels unsettled or fractured, this letter re-centers us on a God who is not distant or reactive, but purposeful, present, and powerfully at work—a God who is able to do IMMEASURABLY MORE than all we could ever ask or imagine.

At the same time, Ephesians reminds us who we are together. In Christ, walls that once divided are torn down, outsiders are brought near, and a new people is formed—not around background, performance, or preference, but around Jesus Himself. This series invites our church family to rediscover our shared identity as God’s household and living dwelling place, called to display His love, unity, and peace in everyday life. As we journey through Ephesians, our prayer is that we would remember our first love, live out Christ’s victory with humility and faithfulness, and trust that God will work through our ordinary faithfulness to accomplish far more than we could ever ask or think—for His glory and for the good of the world.

Love you BIG,
Pastor Craig
