From Excluded To Included

Jan 5, 2025    Tony Stephens

Welcome to Our Series: A Love That Surpasses Knowledge


Join us as we dive into Ephesians 2:11-22 and explore how God’s infinite love unites people from every background, culture, and story into one family under Christ. This week’s message, "Near or Far," challenges us to rethink how we view others—not as "in or out" but as "near or far" from Jesus.


Through this powerful teaching, we’ll uncover:


📖 God's Promises Are for Everyone: No one is excluded from God’s love and grace—it’s offered to all who believe in Christ.

💡 A New Mindset: Shifting from division to compassion, focusing on how close someone is to Jesus rather than labels or differences.

✝️ Jesus’ Heart for the Lost: Discover how Jesus seeks out, forgives, and transforms those far from Him.

🏛️ Our Role as the Church: How God uses imperfect people—just like the Ephesians and us today—to build His dwelling place on earth.


Whether you feel near to God or far from Him, this message is a powerful reminder of the love and peace Jesus offers to everyone. Let’s become a church that breaks down walls, builds bridges, and reflects God’s heart for the world! 🌍❤️


📌 Key Verses: Ephesians 2:11-22, Colossians 1:15-17, Isaiah 53:7, John 1:1-3
