"His Grace"

This Sunday, we’ll continue our series on "Life Mission" by stepping into **Ephesians 2:1–10**. After Paul prays for the church in Ephesus, he reminds them of something important: who they were before Jesus, what God did by grace, and what they were created for now.

We’ll talk about the danger of the church becoming a “holy huddle”—a safe, inward-focused group that forgets the mission of Jesus. Paul reminds believers that there is no room for pride or “us vs. them” thinking, because apart from Jesus, we were all dead in sin and in need of grace.

But the good news is powerful:  
**“God saved you by his grace when you believed… it is a gift from God.”**  
And that grace does not leave us unchanged. God makes us new in Christ, calling us His masterpiece, created to do the good works He planned for us long ago.

**Main Scripture:** Ephesians 2:1–10  
**Key Theme:** We are saved by grace, made new in Christ, and sent to live on mission with Jesus.

**You can prepare by reading:**  
- Ephesians 2:1–10  
- Romans 6:1–4

**Questions to discuss before Sunday:**  
1. Why is it important to remember what Jesus saved us from?  
2. What is the difference between being saved by good works and being saved for good works?  
3. How can the church avoid becoming inward-focused and stay on mission with Jesus?  
4. What does it mean that we are God’s masterpiece?

This week’s message will challenge us to remember that the only difference between us and the world is Jesus—and that same Jesus sends us back into the world with His grace, His love, and His mission.
