080220-"When the Messiah Came" Ephesians 2:17-22. Our Sermon In A Sentence:It Is God’s Determined Plan To Create One People, Made Up Of All People Groups, Who Are Reconciled Together In Christ.

Colossians 3:11-“In Christ there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all.” James 2:8-9 - “If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers.”

When Jesus Messiah Came:

He Proclaimed Good News Of Peace Instead Of Racial Hostility (v.17);
He Established Equal Access To The Father For All People Groups (v.18);

He Made All People Groups Equal Citizens Of God’s Household (v.19);

He Became The Cornerstone Of An Ethnically Diverse Church (v.20-22).
