The Church Is Called To Be A Community Of... 1. Oneness in a broken world (Ephesians 1:1-14) 2. Hope in a corrupt world (Ephesians 1:15-23) 3. Grace in an unyielding world (Ephesians 2:1-10) 4. Inclusion in a segregated world 5. Redemption in a judgmental world 6. Strength in an exhausting world 7. Maturity in a materialistic world 8. Purity in a permissive world 9. Humility in a rights-driven world 10. Direction in an aimless world

How is Biblical Community Different? 3. Grace in an Unyielding World Ephesians 2:1-10

2 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins 2 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. 3 All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else. 4 But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, 5 that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) 6 For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. 7 So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus. 8 God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. 9 Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. 10 For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

What Ephesians 2:1-10 describes: The new community (The Church) 'The rest of the world' (v2) Baptism says: 'I joined this side' Under God's Influence - v5,6,10 Under Evil's Influence -v2 Characterised as a community of grace; 'God's masterpiece'! - v7,10 Characterised by our sinful nature; it's desires & inclinations drive us - v3 Spiritually 'alive' - v5 Spiritually 'dead' - v5 God involves people in his work - v10b The Devil involves people in his work -v2b Subject to God's anger (v3b), yet... recipients of His grace
