Don’t Waste the Church, Part 2: From Me to We
Pastor Mark South explores Ephesians 2:17–22 and how the grace that saves us also shapes our shared life as a church. Jesus preaches peace to those who are near and far, giving us shared access to the Father through the Spirit and belonging in God’s household. Built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ as our cornerstone, we are being joined together into a holy temple and a dwelling place for God. Mark challenges us to move beyond asking whether church meets our needs and consider how we can receive, care for, and make room for one another through curiosity, intentionality, and open circles of friendship.
